"My legal battle with Rep. John Boehner (R–OH) began nearly nine years ago when I was handed a tape recording of then-House Speaker Newt Gingrich and his leadership team plotting to evade the no-spin provision of a plea agreement with the House Ethics Committee. I gave members of the press access to that recording. They in turn published portions of the plot in their newspapers, and the story generated extensive public interest.

The Republicans responded with a lawsuit against me."


In May, a federal court ordered McDermott to pay Boehner $700,000 in damages and legal costs. The suit, Boehner vs. McDermott, was the first ever between two sitting Representatives."
