Thirty years ago today, on December 21, 1995 (October 30, 1995 in the lunar calendar), Clinton agreed to hand over the "Whitewater Incident" materials. On December 21, 1995, U.S. President Bill Clinton agreed to hand over new materials about the Whitewater incident to investigators in both houses of Congress on the condition that investigators would not use this as a precedent and request the full disclosure of Clinton's discussions on the Whitewater incident with his lawyers. The investigators agreed to this condition, but also stated that the agreement did not preclude requesting other materials in the future. On the 20th, the Senate voted 51 - 45 to pass a resolution requiring Clinton to hand over the material. In an interview with the newspaper at the White House, Clinton 2 said the Whitewater investigation was largely a game of politics.
