Sosnik to Advise Clinton Campaign

Veteran Democratic operative Doug Sosnik will serve as an adviser to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's (N.Y.) presidential effort, although he will not join the campaign in a formal capacity, he confirmed to "The Fix" tonight.

"They asked me and I have agreed to an informal role," Sosnik said.

Sosnik has a long history with the Clintons. He served as White House political director during the 1996 re-election campaign of former President Bill Clinton and went on to serve as a political and policy adviser during the Clinton's second presidential term.

Sosnik, along with former Hillary Clinton chief of staff Maggie Williams, are expected to be part of a widened group of senior advisers to the campaign.
