Starr, Judges to Testify on Counsel Law
Independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr and the three-judge panel that appointed him will testify next Wednesday before a Senate committee considering whether Congress should renew the Watergate-inspired law that provided for his job.
The Senate Governmental Affairs Committee, chaired by Sen. Fred Thompson (R-Tenn.), will hear from Starr and federal judges Richard D. Cudahy, Peter T. Fay and David B. Sentelle, the panel announced Wednesday.
In his own statement, Starr confirmed that he will testify and said he looks forward to it.
Thompson has pledged to keep the hearings from focusing on Starr’s controversial five-year investigation of President Clinton, which led to the second presidential impeachment in history. The Senate acquitted Clinton on Feb. 12.
