Broder cites no public issue and notes the woman involved had no payroll, was not a foreign agent, and had no harassment suit. Editor David Talbot says it was a legitimate journalistic difference.

House Republicans weigh giving the Judiciary Committee broad open-ended authority modeled on the Nixon impeachment probe to investigate grounds for impeachment. The plan could expand inquiries beyond Starr’s findings to issues like 1996 fundraising, with anonymous sources noting use of Watergate text replacing Nixon with Clinton.

Lott shifts stance on impeachment compared to Nixon era
Senate leader Trent Lott says Congress may impeach a president for bad conduct without a crime, a reversal from his 1974 stance during Nixon’s impeachment. He cites disrepute of office and constitutional framework, while critics accuse political calculation. Democrats argue Clinton’s offenses are less grave than Watergate crimes.
