Judge Rebukes Starr and Dismisses Hubbell Charges
A federal judge in Washington dismissed the tax evasion case against Webster Hubbell, criticizing Kenneth Starr for a fishing expedition and improper probe expansion. Starr vows an appeal while Hubbell, elated, thanks the court as charges against him, his wife, and two friends are dropped. The decision cites lack of AG permission and use of immunity documents to probe land deals. Other rulings in Lewinsky matters and McDougal health issues frame Starr’s recent setbacks.
