Susan Carpenter-McMillan

Susan Carpenter-McMillan (born circa 1949) was a senior adviser to Paula Jones during the Lewinsky scandal and headed the Paula Jones Legal Defense Fund.[1] In 1997 Clinton was willing to settle the lawsuit that Jones brought against him for $700,000. Carpenter-McMillan advised Jones to reject Clinton's offer because the offer did not include an apology.[2] Jones followed Carpenter-McMillan's advice, which contradicted the advice she received from her lawyers, Gilbert Davis and Joseph Cammarata. Jones eventually settled the case with Clinton for $850,000 and no apology.[3]

In 2000 Carpenter-McMillan was not successful when she ran for the California State Assembly against Carol Liu.[4]

Family

Carpenter-McMillan was married to attorney William McMillan whom she divorced in 1998. She has two children.
