Starr Continuing Inquiry of Clintons

Prosecutor Kenneth Starr said he has no choice but to keep investigating the Clintons, a course that could collide with the 2000 presidential election campaign and a possible Senate run by the first lady. Starr said he regards the coming criminal trial of Clinton friend Webster L. Hubbell--based on an indictment that refers 36 times to Hillary Rodham Clinton--as an important step in the investigation. “We’re looking forward to a trial this summer, that’s what we’re preparing for right now,” Starr said. Also, the Washington Post reported in a book excerpt that President Clinton’s lawyer, Robert S. Bennett, was suspicious of Clinton’s denials of extramarital relationships and warned him bluntly to tell the truth in the Paula Corbin Jones case.
