Expand All Collapse All Extent 3 SRLs, 198 assets Summary The researcher submitted a request for electronic materials from the Clinton administration related to the eleven-day standoff between federal agents and Randy Weaver, Weaver’s wife and kids, and family friend Kevin Harris, at Ruby Ridge in the Selkirk Mountains of northern Idaho in August 1992. The encounter resulted in the deaths of Weaver’s teenage son, Samuel, and wife, Vicki, as well as US Marshal Bill Degan. Although the incident took place prior to President Clinton assuming office, it was the subject of intense scrutiny throughout the rest of the 1990s, including internal and criminal investigations and Congressional hearings. In 1995, the Department of Justice settled a civil case brought forth by Randy Weaver, granting $1 million each to the three surviving children and $100,000 to Weaver. This collection contains press clippings, departmental and cabinet weekly reports, Congressional hearing transcripts, briefing memos, and schedules.
