Sept. 11, 1998:
A report by independent counsel Kenneth Starr is released to the public. The "Starr Report" recommends 11 possible grounds for impeaching President Bill Clinton, including lying under oath, witness tampering and obstruction of justice regarding his relationship with former intern Monica Lewinsky.
On Dec. 19, the House will impeach Clinton on two counts: perjury, by a vote of 228-206, and obstruction of justice, by a vote of 221-212. But he will be acquitted in the Senate in January of 1999.
