Career
In 1997 Clinton was willing to settle the lawsuit that Jones brought against him for $700,000. Carpenter-McMillan advised Jones to reject Clinton"s offer because the offer did not include an apology. Jones followed Carpenter-McMillan"s advice, which contradicted the advice she received from her lawyers, Gilbert Davis and Joseph Cammarata.
Jones eventually settled the case with Clinton for $850,000 and no apology.
In 2000 Carpenter-McMillan unsuccessfully ran for the California State Assembly against Carol Liu. She has two children.
