Another success for the Rutherford Institute? 10/13/98 -- 7:33 PM Jones seeks to use Starr referral in her appeal WASHINGTON (AP) - Paula Jones, saying President Clinton's misleading testimony about Monica Lewinsky should be grounds to restore her dismissed lawsuit, has asked a federal appeals court to let her incorporate the argument in the case. Even though it's unusual to admit information that was unavailable when a case was dismissed, Clinton's denial of a sexual relationship with Monica Lewinsky left the case ''tainted by perjury, obstruction of justice or other fraud,'' Mrs. Jones' lawyers argued. ''No fair-minded person'' who reviews Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr's findings ''can fail to conclude that Mr. Clinton lied under oath ... in this case and unlawfully interfered with Mrs. Jones' efforts'' to gather evidence, her lawyers argued in a brief made public Tuesday. Clinton's lawyers, in their reply, argued that the president's testimony last January denying an affair with the former White House intern was irrelevant to the Jones case. The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which holds oral arguments Oct. 20 in St. Paul, Minn. on Mrs. Jones' appeal, lifted its secrecy order on the Jones filing and most other legal briefs that have been submitted by both sides. Lawyers for Clinton and Mrs. Jones are trying to negotiate a settlement, and the oral argument date is considered a deadline for an agreement in the near future. Starr's referral to Congress on Sept. 11 alleged that Clinton lied in his Jan. 17 deposition when he denied having a sexual relationship with Monica Lewinsky. The Jones lawyers contend that even though the report was not available when her case was dismissed April 1 by U.S. District Judge Susan Webber Wright, it would be crucial to supplement the record now. Clinton, in his Aug. 17 grand jury testimony, said he did not commit perjury last January, because his sexual activity with Ms. Lewinsky did not meet the definition of sexual relations approved by Judge Wright. Clinton's brief replied that the appellate court ''should not enlarge an already overloaded record with approximately 500 additional pages of extraneous material apparently intended to distract ... attention from the central issues presented on appeal.'' The president's lawyers cited Judge Wright's opinion, in which she concluded that whatever happened in an Arkansas hotel room - Mrs. Jones contended Clinton asked her to perform a sexual act - she had failed to prove she was harmed emotionally or in her career as she contended. Clinton's brief added that Starr's referral is ''a one-sided, selective presentation to Congress of information collected by the Office of the Independent Counsel and has been ''hotly disputed'' ''along lines of political affiliation.'' The Jones legal team, however, argued, ''The perception that federal court decisions are factually accurate remains extremely important to our judicial system. When evidence comes to light that a litigant has attempted to subvert this principal the courts should receive that evidence and act on it no matter when the evidence is discovered.'' tampabayonline.net
