the Starr Report

The Starr Report is a detailed document released in 1998 that investigates President Bill Clinton’s relationship with Monica Lewinsky, a White House intern. It presents findings of an independent counsel, Ken Starr, who examined whether Clinton committed illegal acts like perjury or obstruction of justice related to their affair. The report summarizes evidence and allegations, ultimately leading to Clinton’s impeachment by the House of Representatives, though he was acquitted by the Senate. It played a key role in the political and legal proceedings surrounding Clinton’s presidency and remains a significant record of that scandal.
