Oral arguments were heard before the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in the case Flowers v. Carville. The case brought by Gennifer Flowers charges James Carville, George Stephanopoulos and Little, Brown & Company with defamation and false light. These charges stem from statements published on CNN’s “Larry King Live” program in January and February of 1998 and statements in a book authored by Stephanopoulos. Former first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton is also named in the defamation lawsuit.
