‘The Amateur’ Alleges Bill Clinton Urged Hillary To Challenge President In 2012 (VIDEO)

A new unauthorized biography of President Barack Obama alleges that Bill Clinton pushed his wife Hillary Clinton to mount a primary campaign for the White House in the 2012 election cycle.

Edward Klein’s The Amateur claims the exchange in question occurred last summer. The New York Post reported on the matter last week.

According to excerpts of the book relayed by the Post, Bill Clinton reportedly told his wife that the country “needs” her and regarded Obama as an “amateur.” In response to her husband, Secretary of State Clinton allegedly said, “What about loyalty, Bill? What about loyalty?”

The Canadian Press reports:

The knives have come out for Klein in the wake of the allegations, with sources close to the Clintons crying foul. The former president’s spokesman trotted out unusually harsh language to discredit the book, set for release on Tuesday.

Quoted in the Post report, Matt McKenna branded Klein a “known liar” and called the book’s allegations “totally and completely false.”
