Democrats sharpen anti Starr push amid impeachment probe
Democrats in Washington ramp up criticism of Kenneth Starr as impeachment proceedings unfold. They charge Starr misrepresented the case to Janet Reno, leaked grand jury material, and overstepped authority in expanding inquiries. Senators and representatives argue the independent counsel acted with conflicts and improper tactics.

Tripp faced praise and raises despite being a problem employee
Linda Tripp, the whistleblower in the Lewinsky case, received multiple pay raises and favorable performance notes at the Pentagon after moving from the White House in 1994, even as supervisors described her as disruptive and difficult to work with. A colleague testified that she avoided work and stayed at home on a special assignment, while her immunity deal followed.
