Bill Clinton's senior adviser robbed by kids

Bill Clinton's tough senior adviser, Justin Cooper, was attacked by two young kids in broad daylight in Paris, on Wednesday.

Cooper, who served as the former US president's "body man" and most recently special adviser since Clinton left the office, was in France when his boss was in Paris for an AIDS conference, the New York Post reported.

Cooper was reportedly withdrawing money across the street from the historic Hotel George V just off the Champs-Elysees, at the time of the attack.

According to the French newspaper Metro, Cooper was approached by two boys, who are said to be grade-school age, while he was at the ATM.

Reports suggested that one of the boys asked Cooper to sign a fake petition while the other one snatched 387 dollars, which he'd withdrawn from the ATM.

The boys, who were not carrying weapons during the attack, then ran off.

Metro reported that the perpetrators are still free, and the video of the incident is being reviewed.
