Several Chicago and Washington-based reporters are following up on claims by a man named Larry Sinclair, who says he used cocaine with Barack Obama in the late-1990s. Sinclair has released the following video backing up his claims, and he says the Obama campaign is trying to determine whether the allegations are in any way connected with the Hillary Clinton camp. Sinclair says they are not and that he is filing suit against Obama and David Axelrod, the senior advisor with the Obama campaign. Sinclair claims Axelrod has made personal threats against him.

More videos and a picture of Sinclair from the late-1990s are available here.
