Objection and Ruling Shape Trial in Clinton Impeachment
Objections from Sen Tom Harkin and a ruling by Chief Justice Rehnquist redefine the Senate’s role in the Clinton impeachment, casting the body as a court rather than a jury. Senators debate jury terminology, scope of power, and the impact on impartiality and national welfare.

Clinton says settlement paid ends attorney fee dispute
President Clinton states he has sent an $850,000 settlement check to Paula Jones and her lawyers to resolve attorney fee disputes. Cammarata and Davis claim $874,000. Clinton argues the payment satisfies the agreement and relieves him of further liability. The funds now affect the fee claims, pending court action, with responses filed by Jones, her current counsel, and Rutherford Institute.
