NASHUA, N.H. — A senior adviser to Senator Clinton has agreed to plead guilty to drunken driving after the arresting officer was ordered to Iraq making a trial on a more serious charge impossible, police said Monday.
Under the plea, Sidney Blumenthal, a journalist and former White House adviser to President Clinton, will lose his right to drive for 16 months.
Now an unpaid adviser to Ms. Clinton’s campaign, Mr. Blumenthal, 59, was arrested January 7, the day before the New Hampshire primary, and charged with aggravated drunken driving.
