White House Scandal At A Glance: March 17

Today's developments:

• Monica Lewinsky's college chum Catherine Davis appeared before the grand jury investigating whether President Bill Clinton had a sexual relationship with the former White House intern and encouraged her to lie about it. Independent Counsel Ken Starr reportedly flew Davis in from Tokyo to ask about conversations she and Lewinsky may have had regarding Lewinsky's relationship with the president.

• The testimony of Ellen McCathran, identified as the presidential diarist, was heard next by the grand jury.

• White House Press Secretary Mike McCurry defended the White House's release of correspondence between Clinton and Kathleen Willey, who has accused Clinton of making unwanted sexual advances in 1993. "I think that there was an effort to put factual material out so that Americans could place this story in context," McCurry said. "Obviously we hope that context is more favorable to the president. But it is not done with any sense of animosity towards Ms. Willey." The correspondence showed that Clinton and Willey maintained a cordial relationship even after the November 1993 meeting in which she claims he groped her; Clinton has denied doing anything improper.
