L. January 15-16: Developments in the Jones Law
Suit
On January 15, 1998, President Clinton's counsel served Ms. Jones's attorneys
with the President's responses to Ms. Jones's document requests.(994)
One of the requests specifically sought all documents reflecting communications
between the President and Monica Lewinsky.(995)
President Clinton objected to the scope of this request, but, notwithstanding
his objection, he stated that he did not have any responsive documents.
Also on January 15, Mr. Carter drafted a motion to quash the subpoena issued
by Paula Jones's attorneys to Ms. Lewinsky. Attached to the motion was Ms.
Lewinsky's signed affidavit.(996) At
the request of Katherine Sexton, one of the President's personal attorneys, Mr.
Carter faxed a copy of the affidavit to her law offices. Mr. Carter testified
that he asked Ms. Sexton why she needed the affidavit that day:
I said, "Well, Katie, you're going to get it tomorrow because I'm filing it,
and it's going to be attached as an exhibit to the motion." She said, "Well, but
you've already provided it to the other side, so can I get a copy" -- words to
that effect. I said, "I have no problem." And so I faxed it to her.(997)
On January 16, 1998, Mr. Carter arranged for the overnight delivery of the
motion to quash and the accompanying affidavit to Judge Susan Webber Wright's
law clerk and Paula Jones's attorneys.(998)
