LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — One of President Clinton’s chief critics on Capitol Hill said the Whitewater prosecutor’s investigation has dragged on too long, according to news reports.
“The American public has just grown sick and tired of it,” Sen. Alfonse M. D’Amato (R-N.Y.) said Tuesday outside the Senate chamber in Washington, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported Wednesday. D’Amato’s remarks also were carried in New York’s Daily News.
D’Amato, who led the Senate’s two-year Whitewater investigation, also criticized prosecutor Kenneth W. Starr’s handling of the criminal investigation into Whitewater, a complex affair that includes allegations ranging from fraudulent land deals to a possible cover-up.
