WASHINGTON--A top House
Republican aide involved in the
probe of President Clinton's 1996
campaign resigned today as the panel's
chairman sought to contain criticism of his
own handling of the politically-charged
investigation.
Rep. Dan Burton, R-Ind., told reporters
that investigator David Bossie had "chosen
to resign" in the wake of the controversy
over the release of edited excerpts of
Webster Hubbell's jailhouse phone
conversations.
Democrats have pummeled Burton in
recent days, alleging the tapes were edited
to put Hubbell in the worst possible light,
and that exculpatory material had been
edited out. Republicans, too, have
expressed unhappiness over the way
Burton's committee handled the issue.
