Rulings by the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit sided with Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr in their rejection of privilege claims for deputy White House Counsel Bruce Lindsey and for Secret Service officers.

Three parts of federal government clashed in the Lindsey case, the White House, the Department of Justice and the Office of the Independent Counsel.
