Marcia Lewis brought a psychiatrist to a hearing in which she attempted to avoid further testimony before the grand jury investigating her daughter.

Money set aside for a possible impeachment proceedings
House Republicans approve $1.3 million in additional funding for the House Judiciary Committee, money that could be used to pay for an investigation of possible impeachment if Starr turns the findings from his investigation of Clinton over to Congress as expected. Democrats accuse the GOP of a “partisan witch hunt,” while committee chairman Henry Hyde, R-Ill., who would oversee any impeachment investigation, says the Democrats are resorting to “raw partisan politics” in an attempt to create “an adversarial aura” where none existed.

Lewinsky’s mother loses bid to avoid further testimony
Monica Lewinsky’s mother, Marcia Lewis, fails in a bid to avoid further testimony before the grand jury investigating her daughter’s alleged sexual relationship with the president. After the hearing before Chief U.S. District Judge Norma Holloway Johnson, Lewis’ attorney, Billy Martin, says, “Unfortunately nothing changed today.” Lewis, who brought a Maryland psychiatrist to the hearing to support her argument, testified before the panel for two days in February, but was “overcome” near the end of the second day. After the hearing, the grand jury hears testimony from Jodie Torkelson, a former White House personnel assistant who was expected to be asked about her knowledge of Lewinsky’s transfer from the White House to the Pentagon in April 1996.

Starr subpoenas documents from Jones’ attorneys
NBC News, quoting sources close to the investigation, reports that Starr has served a subpoena on Paula Jones’ lawyers seeking depositions and any other materials related to four women who may have had physical relations with the president. The report says that Starr wants to know whether White House operatives may have been involved in witness tampering and whether the president may have perjured himself when he said his relationship with all four is platonic.
