LOS ANGELES – The owner of a landmark Hollywood comedy club claims that someone representing Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton's campaign pressured him to pull down a video segment featuring comics spoofing the former First Lady and Secretary of State – or risk facing consequences.

"I have received complaints before but never a call like this, threatening to put me out of business if I don't cut the video."
