Hillary REFUSES to be served legal papers in $50M defamation row with Tulsi Gabbard over Clinton's claim the presidential hopeful is a Russian 'asset'

Gabbard's camp say they were rebuffed by Secret Service and Clinton's attorney

The 2020 candidate is suing Clinton for $50million over the Russian claims

Gabbard accuses Clinton of promoting 'extremely dubious conspiracy theories'

Hillary Clinton and her aides have refused to be served with legal papers in a defamation dispute with Tulsi Gabbard, it has been claimed.

Gabbard's lawyers say they were turned away by the Secret Service and later by Clinton's attorney when they tried to deliver the paperwork.

The Democratic presidential hopeful is suing Clinton for $50million over an interview last year in which the 2016 nominee suggested that Gabbard was the 'favorite of the Russians'.

Gabbard's attorney Brian Dunne told the New York Post that Clinton was 'so intimidated by Tulsi Gabbard that she won't accept service of process'.

Dunne, the attorney, said Gabbard's representatives had tried to deliver the papers in person at the Clinton residence in Chappaqua, New York.

However, they were allegedly turned away by Secret Service agents who protect the home.

Gabbard's camp says the agents directed them to Clinton's lawyer David Kendall, who said he could not accept the papers on her behalf.

Dunne said Gabbard's team was now considering its next move.
