An Untold Story: Jim Lichtman’s ‘Trust and Confidence’ Offers Exclusive New Information and Insights into the Starr Investigation of President Bill Clinton’s relationship with Monica Lewinsky
Twenty-five years after the release of Ken Starr’s Independent Counsel Report, a new book reveals more to the story than previously known.
Santa Barbara, California–(500NewsWire – January 29, 2024) – Jim Lichtman’s Trust and Confidence: Inside the Battle Between the Secret Service and Ken Starr provides readers with an unprecedented examination into Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr’s battle with the Secret Service.
Starr relied on an anonymous source inside the Secret Service who falsely alleged that Lewis Merletti, the special agent in charge of the president’s protective detail, secretly facilitated the Clinton/Lewinsky relationship in exchange for becoming director of the Secret Service.
Based on the best available evidence from previously unreleased documents from the National Archives, interviews with former Secret Service director Lewis Merletti, special counsel Jo Ann Harris, and several former Starr prosecutors, Lichtman fills a significant gap in what we know of Starr’s investigation that has remained unreported, until now.
