DRUDGE REPORT

REPORT: BILL RICHARDSON CAUGHT IN LEWINSKY LIE!

**Exclusive**

The WASHINGTON TIMES is set to release a blockbuster report that is bound
to turn official Washington upside down and inside out.

U.N. Ambassador Bill Richardson, contrary to what he told Congress last
month in sworn testimony, did not have a job opening on his staff when he
offered to hire Monica Lewinsky in October, according to sources and
documents obtained by the WASHINGTON TIMES.

Reporter Bill Sammon breaks hard with the exclusive, set to appear in
Friday editions.

Richardson, who was recently confirmed as President Clinton's new Energy
Secretary, "panicked when the scandal broke in January and scrambled to
find a slot he could claim had existed long before he interviewed
Lewinsky."

Sammon reveals: "Despite Mr. Richardson's repeated sworn assertions, he did
not create the position until after Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr
served him with a subpoena demanding all documents related to the job
offer."

Starr is trying to determine whether the offer was aimed at distancing
Lewinsky and keeping her quiet about her relationship with Clinton.

The TIMES quotes sources at the United Nations, State Department and
Capitol Hill in the exhaustive report.

NEW YORK TIMES: LEWINSKY TOLD GRAND JURY THAT CLINTON NEVER ASKED HER TO
LIE

Monica Lewinsky told a grand jury on Thursday that she had several sexual
encounters with President Clinton "in his small, private study down a short
hallway from the Oval Office, Friday's NEW YORK TIMES is set to report.

A prerelease of the report was obtained by the DRUDGE REPORT Thursday
evening.

Lewinsky also testified, according to the TIMES, that she and the president
"had talked about ways to conceal their relationship... [but] he never
directly told her to lie under oath in the Paula Jones case."

Lewinsky was asked a series of questions about the dirty dress Thursday and
prosecutors have left open the possibility of recalling her before the
grand jury, perhaps after the president testifies, says the paper.
