An Asian-American civil rights group and the lawyer for embattled Hillary Clinton fundraiser Norman Hsu responded sharply Thursday to Republican efforts to link the case to scandals involving other Asian-American donors to Bill Clinton more than a decade ago.
“It would be wholly inappropriate to link this in any way to the ‘96 campaign cycle investigations, just because both involve Asian-Americans,” said Lawrence Barcella, a lawyer for Hsu, who is a top donor to Hillary Clinton and other Democrats.
