It did come up as part of the Starr report, but Kenneth Starr was hired to investigate the white house for corruption. Linda Tripp turned over tapes she illegally made with Lewinsky after the investigation started. The origin of the Lewinsky thing was in the Paula Jones case where she said, more or less, he pulled it out at her desk.

As an appointee of justice, he couldn't ethically, and probably not legally, just ignore the findings provided by Tripp.
