N.Y. JOB OFFER COINCIDES WITH LEWINSKY AFFIDAVIT
By Amy Goldstein
January 31, 1998

On Jan. 7, former White House intern Monica S. Lewinsky signed an affidavit denying she had a sexual relationship with President Clinton. It was a document of great legal and political value to the president, but for the next nine days, it would remain locked away in her lawyer's office.

In the meantime, Lewinsky on Jan. 13 received a letter of great value to her own future: Revlon, which had granted her a job interview at the urging of Clinton's friend Vernon E. Jordan Jr., was offering her just the kind of corporate job in New York she had been trying to land for months.

Only when the offer was in hand did Lewinsky's lawyer -- whom Lewinsky had hired in December, also under Jordan's guidance -- dispatch the affidavit on Jan. 16 to a courthouse in Little Rock, where she was being asked to testify in the Paula Jones sexual harassment case against the president.
