Court ruling forces Clinton to surrender notes in Whitewater probe
The Supreme Court ruled Hillary Rodham Clinton must surrender notes taken by White House lawyers during talks with her private Whitewater attorney David Kendall.

Critics warn of dangerous precedent limiting privilege against grand jury subpoenas. Special Prosecutor Starr’s effort continues amid questions on evidentiary merit.
