MOTHER FEARED THAT CLINTON WOULD SEND OUT DEATH HIT DRUDGE REPORT THU DEC 03 1998 21:42:08 UTC "My mother's big fear is that he's going to send someone out to kill me!" Those are the words spoken on tape by a panicked Monica Lewinsky at the height of the White House sex cover-up late last year. Lewinsky, referring to President Clinton, made the shocking confession to Linda Tripp. A confession that was initially overlooked by members of the Judiciary Committee, but one that has now caught the attention of several lawmakers. "The more you study Starr's report, and yes, some of us who care about the upcoming vote have been looking at all of the evidence in this case, the more you see that Monica Lewinsky was in constant fear of her physical well-being," a committee member told the DRUDGE REPORT on Tuesday. On July 29, 1998, Linda Tripp gave details to the grand jury about other Lewinsky death fears -- fears that were not captured tape. Tripp: "... They were scary... conversations became increasingly more frightening to me: 'You'll be destroyed, they'll destroy you.' 'The least of your problems will be the job.' 'Look at people who have crossed them in the past, people end up dead around them.' Monica said over and over and over again. 'They know you have two children.' 'They know where you live.' 'You are crazy to do this.' She also intimated and in fact said to me that, 'I fear for my life, my mother fears for my life.'" The ranking member, who asked not to be identified, hopes to explore Lewinsky's fears during an upcoming public session with White House lawyers. "We have no answers to why Monica's mother was afraid that the president was going to send someone out to kill her daughter," the lawmaker said. "Were direct threats, of some kind, made? It is a very curious part of the story that, to me, has not been resolved. Someone has to raise this issue."
