Janet Reno in Living History, by Hillary Rodham Clinton

On Principles & Values: Authorized expansion of Ken Starr's Whitewater investigation

On January 21, 1998, there were news reports that Bill had an affair with a former White House intern and that he had asked her to lie about it to Paula Jones's lawyers. Starr had requested and obtained permission from Attorney General Janet Reno to expand his investigation to look into possible criminal charges against the President.

On January 16, Attorney General Reno wrote a letter to the three-judge oversight panel recommending that Starr be allowed to expand his investigations to the Lewinsky matter and possible obstruction of justice. We later learned that Reno's recommendation was based on incomplete and false information provided to her by the OIC.
