Starr probes Clinton influence in Arkansas prison siting
Whitewater prosecutors led by Kenneth Starr are investigating whether Bill Clinton steered siting of three Arkansas prisons for campaign support as governor. Starr subpoenaed the Arkansas Development Finance Authority records and agency building records for the late 1980s projects. State Rep. John Miller denied wrongdoing, saying the area needed an economic boost. President Clinton's aide David Kendall said he did not know the independent counsel’s actions. Correction Department officials confirmed Starr's subpoenas.
