Lindsey and Clinton have been close ever since 1968 when they worked for Arkansas Sen. William Fulbright. At issue are possible contacts between Lindsey and Lewinsky and whether Lindsey helped line up a job for the former intern. Those are the notes Linda Tripp contends that Lewinsky, a onetime friend, gave her to influence Tripp's testimony in the Paula Jones lawsuit. Clinton's friend and counsel has long tried to stay out of the spotlight. In 1982, when Clinton lost the governor's race, Lindsey took him into his law firm.
Friends say the two men understand each other because of what they have been through.
Meanwhile, a lawyer for Lewinsky's mother, Marcia Lewis, sought a delay for his client's grand jury testimony from U.S. District Judge Norma Holloway Johnson, the court's chief judge. Lewis was questioned by the grand jury last week and is still under subpoena. She emerged from the courthouse distraught after the second day of testimony and has not returned. She remains under subpoena but she will not be here today. At the conclusion of her testimony, she will give a full statement.
