Book: Prosecutors were prepared to indict Clintons
NEW YORK — An explosive new book about former President Clinton says independent prosecutors were prepared to indict him and Hillary Rodham Clinton for their roles in the Whitewater and Monica Lewinsky affairs.
Author Ken Gormley also writes in “The Death of American Virtue: Clinton vs. Starr” that ex-intern Lewinsky believed Bill Clinton lied in grand jury testimony about their relationship.
The book is to be published in February; The Associated Press obtained a copy of it on Friday.
Former independent counsel Kenneth Starr’s office spent millions in the 1990s on a probe of Clinton’s affair with Lewinsky and efforts to cover it up and the Whitewater scandal.
Calls to representatives for both Clintons weren’t immediately returned Friday.
