Ginsburg: Waiting for Starr United Press International - January 25, 1998 13:56 %WASHINGTON %US %CLINTONPROBE %GINSBURG V%UPI P%UPI WASHINGTON, Jan. 25 (UPI) - Lawyer William Ginsburg says any grand jury investigation into charges of an affair between his client, Monica Lewinsky, and President Clinton should wait until after Tuesday's State of the Union address. But Ginsburg also says Lewinsky stands by her statement denying any sexual relationship. He said today he is waiting for independent counsel Kenneth Starr to decide if he will grant immunity in exchange for Lewinsky's grand jury testimony, but says he will not make a plea deal. Ginsburg says Lewinsky is standing by her sworn statement that she and the president did not have a sexual relationship, despite her reported testimony in secretly-recorded conversations with another former White House staffer, Linda Tripp. Clinton has denied the allegations. In a sworn affidavit, signed Jan. 7, in Paula Corbin Jones' sexual harassment suit against the president, Lewinsky said she did not have a sexual relationship with Clinton. Starr reportedly has scheduled witnesses to testify on Tuesday but Ginsburg said it would be ''unfair and unwise'' to distract Clinton as he prepares his State of the Union address because ''the whole free world is listening to the president.'' Speaking on NBC's ''Meet The Press'' today, Ginsburg said Lewinsky is prepared to cooperate fully with Starr, but ''she will not incriminate herself.'' He told CBS's ''Face the Nation'' that Lewinsky is prepared to ''exercise all of her constitutional rights and the Fifth Amendment is one of those rights.'' Ginsburg told CNN that talks with Starr's office ''are open, they are cordial.'' He said: ''We intend to continue to chat, but the ball, frankly, is in Judge Starr's court and we are waiting for him to tell us what he wants to do.'' Ginsburg says he is prepared to receive an offer of immunity, or defend Lewinsky, but will not agree to any plea bargain because Starr's investigation is not really about Lewinsky, but aim at higher targets. ''I've stated before and I'll state again... if this is all about Monica Lewinsky, and this is all this is about, then we ought to be spending our tax dollars elsewhere, we've got better things to do.'' Ginsburg also told CBS that Starr has not yet allowed him to hear secretly recorded tapes of conversations between Lewinsky and Tripp. -- Copyright 1998 by United Press International.
