Narrative:
I crossed aircraft Y from runway 22R at taxiway golf; and put aircraft X in line up and wait. I observed aircraft Y cross and come to a stop on taxiway B at which point he looked clear of the runway from my point of view and on the asdex. I still waited until I saw aircraft Y moving ahead slightly; and overheard ground control issue instructions to taxi via alpha. Then issued aircraft X a takeoff clearance. Aircraft X took off and then advised me airborne that an aircraft wasn't clear of the runway. The aircraft was clear of the runway from my point of view; and I issued a takeoff clearance after seeing him taxi up a little. I should have verified with ground that he would not be held there for a prolonged period of time.
