Ray Report
Kenneth Starr's successor as Independent Counsel, Robert Ray, released a report in September 2000 that stated "This office determined that the evidence was insufficient to prove to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt that either President or Mrs. Clinton knowingly participated in any criminal conduct." Ray nonetheless criticized the White House in a statement regarding the release of the report, saying delays in the production of evidence and "unmeritorious litigation" by the president's lawyers severely impeded the investigation's progress, leading to the investigation's nearly $60 million total cost. Ray's report effectively ended the Whitewater investigation.

My oldest force is good as new,
And the fresh rose on yonder thorn
Gives back the bending heavens in dew.”
