Larry Elliot Klayman is a politically conservative American public interest lawyer and former Justice Department attorney who has been called a "Clinton nemesis" for his dozens of lawsuits against the Bill Clinton administration in the 90s. The founder of Judicial Watch and the government watchdog group Freedom Watch, he has brought legal action against former Vice President Dick Cheney, President Barack Obama, OPEC, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and the National Security Agency. In the last case, a federal judge ruled in December 2013 that the NSA's domestic surveillance program PRISM violated the 4th Amendment and privacy rights.
