XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX MON SEPT 25, 2000 10:42:07 ET XXXXX GORE TEAM DAMAGE CONTROL BACKFIRE: AFFIDAVITS CHANGED AS EVIDENCE MOUNTED IN 'BUSH MOLE' BRAG Exclusive Gore campaign officials were trapped in a damage control backfire this weekend when a sworn affidavit signed by Gore staffer conflicted with evidence that tied the staffer to conversations about his knowledge of a mole in in the Bush campaign.
