Whitewater investigation continues, says counsel

Whitewater prosecutor Kenneth Starr moved yesterday to quash speculation that his departure means the investigation involving the Clintons is over, calling such guesswork wrong and dangerous.

"The reality is this: this investigation is active and it is at a sensitive stage with ongoing evaluative judgments. Those judgments have not been made," he said.

Mr Starr, the independent counsel who has been investigating business controversies and related cover-up allegations involving President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton since August 1994, issued his caution in a speech to lawyers in Washington. Reuters - Washington
