Hillary Clinton's campaign team "killed" a negative magazine story by using an article on her husband as bait, it was claimed yesterday.

According to Politico newspaper, Clinton advisers told GQ that if the article was published they would withdraw co-operation over a piece on Bill Clinton, expected to feature on December's cover.

Jim Nelson, editor of GQ, said: "Yes, we did kill a Hillary piece. We kill pieces all the time for a variety of reasons."
