President will change his story; market will shrug it off? What do you think? This is just heavy petting and rather reckless and immature behavior for a president but no one broke any laws or tried to set up a police state the whole thing is pitiful. jhg President's Lawyers Brace For Change in His Story By Bob Woodward Washington Post Staff Writer Sunday, August 16, 1998; Page A1 President Clinton's lawyers believe he has decided to change his story about his relationship with Monica S. Lewinsky and will testify this week that he and the former White House intern engaged in sexual activity, but he will not admit to perjury, according to a person who has spoken with the president and his legal team. As he prepares for Monday's questioning by independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr,the president must confront a painful obstacle: how to explain his behavior to his wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and their daughter, Chelsea. "He has not prepared the family," this person said Friday, anticipating an agonizing weekend for the Clintons. "He has got a lot of work to do with the family." The first lady, whose steadfast defense of her husband in January set the tone for his political revival at a moment of peril, is aware that there is a significant problem with Clinton's January testimony in the Paula Jones case and his public denials ofa sexual relationship, but she is not fully aware of the details. "She knows but she doesn't know," the person said. The president and his lawyers hope that Starr would accept a presidential recantation magnanimously, according to this person, but Clinton understands he cannot appear evasive in his closed-circuit television appearance before the grand jury on Monday. If Clinton can find the right words and the right tone in his grand jury testimony, the president's lawyers hope Starr and his deputies will not attempt to humiliate the president with an extended series of intimate questions about his personal behavior. "Starr wins," another source with first-hand knowledge of thesituation said of Clinton's apparent willingness to give ground on the issue of sexual activity. "And we hope he [Starr] wouldn't feel it necessary to drag the body around the arena."
