Disc A · Feb 12 1999

Broadcast: CNN's live special coverage 'Trial of the President' on the morning of Friday, February 12, 1999 - the day the Senate voted on the two articles of impeachment against President Clinton - as seen on Chicago-area cable (local avails for Joliet/Naperville businesses, MediaOne pay-per-view and the Chicago Auto Show). Bernard Shaw and Judy Woodruff anchor with Candy Crowley, Bob Franken, Wolf Blitzer, John King, Jeff Greenfield, Frank Sesno, Greta Van Susteren and Roger Cossack while the Senate deliberates behind closed doors. The tape opens on CNN reading the articles and runs continuously to 12:01 p.m. ET, ending mid-sentence just before the roll call.

Dated by the content (Senate in closed session, Lott expecting the votes 'around 11 to 11:30', Collins announcing acquittal), CNN's on-screen clock in the second hour (11:10a to 12:01p ET), Linda Tripp on Larry King 'Monday' and the De La Hoya-Quartey pay-per-view 'Saturday February 13'.
