Deep dives
The boxes of evidence sent by Ken Starr to Congress
Ken Starr sent over 36 boxes of raw investigative material to Congress, containing grand jury testimony, transcripts of closed-door interviews, and internal memos prepared by prosecutors. The boxes were locked in a room in the Ford office building and only accessible to the House Judiciary Committee. This evidence would be crucial in determining whether or not to propose articles of impeachment to the full House.
