FBI TAPE BOMBSHELL: LEWINSKY OFFERED TRIPP MONEY FOR SILENCE; WARNED TRIPP NOT TO TELL TRUTH Monica Lewinsky told Linda Tripp in January that she was being urged by President Clinton to be untruthful in the Paula Jones sex case. Lewinsky even offered to pay for her friend's silence. Lewinsky told Tripp: "I would write you a check" to keep it all quiet. Lewinsky added: "Telling the truth could get you in trouble." Lewinsky's stunning claims are found on Audio Tape #30 in Starr's impeachment referral. Tape #30 is a face-to-face conversation between Ms. Tripp and Ms. Lewinsky, recorded under FBI auspices.

X X X X X PAPER: WHITE HOUSE GIVES APPROVAL FOR CENSURE; HOPES DOLE WILL CONVINCE CONGRESS The White House has given approval to a movement led by former Democratic officials to have Congress censure President Clinton rather than impeach him, and it hopes Clinton's Republican opponent in the 1996 election -- Bob Dole -- will join the campaign. The LOS ANGELES TIMES is first with the development, to be reported by veteran Jack Nelson in Friday editions. The DRUDGE REPORT obtained a prerelease of the story. Leading the censure movement is Lloyd Cutler, former White House counsel, reveals Nelson. "Democrats working with Cutler include former Sen. George Mitchell of Maine and Leon Panetta, former Clinton chief of staff." The Clinton White House is staying at arm's length from any direct involvement in the censure movement, for fear that "if the White House promotes the idea, it is a non-starter," one "senior adviser" tells the TIMES.
