Female lawyer defends Clinton WASHINGTON (AP) - Following 15 male lawyers, deputy White House counsel Cheryl Mills made a spirited argument Wednesday that her boss did not deny a woman her civil rights. "I'm not worried about civil rights, because this president's record on civil rights, on women's rights, on all of our rights, is unimpeachable," Mills told the Senate. President Clinton "has worked every day to give all of us a better deal." Mills opened her argument in the president's impeachment trial by saying that "as a lawyer, as an American, and as an African-American," she believed strongly in the rule of law. Mills joined the White House counsel's office six years ago when she was 27. She has worked at the center of some of the White House's most tangled controversies.
