LAS VEGAS (AP) — George Stephanopoulos claims that Gennifer Flowers' slander lawsuit against him is without merit and should be dismissed.

Lawyers for the former adviser to President Clinton filed court documents Monday seeking to have the lawsuit thrown out of court.

Flowers filed a suit in November against James Carville, Clinton's 1992 campaign manager, and Stephanopoulos. The lawsuit claims the two "have continuously libeled and slandered" Flowers since 1992 and cited Stephanopoulos' 1999 book "All Too Human: A Political Education."
