Monica Lewinsky is back before Ken Starr's grand jury today.
The woman at the center of the national controversy was recalled following the President's testimony Monday.
It appears to some as though Starr is looking to test the President's version of events.
Meantime, prosecutors now have a sample of President Clinton's D-N-A.
Investigators will compare the sample with a dress of Lewinsky's that may contain physical evidence of a sexual relationship.
Jonathan Freed has an update from Washington.

(( LOCATOR: WASHINGTON, D.C.
SOUND-UP: LEWINSKY ENTERING COURTHOUSE.
No one knows for sure what questions face Monica Lewinsky at the federal courthouse.
But the political timing of her second appearance before Kenneth Starr's grand jury suggests a point/counter-point follow up to the President's testimony on Monday.
SUPER: MONDAY NIGHT.
BITE (CLINTON): AT NO TIME DID I ASK ANYONE TO LIE, TO HIDE OR DESTROY EVIDENCE, OR TO TAKE ANY UNLAWFUL ACTION.
With Clinton having admitted to an inappropriate relationship, Starr is thought to be focusing more on the allegations of obstruction of justice...allegations that Mr. Clinton encouraged Lewinsky to get rid of gifts he had given her...gifts which were under subpoena in the Paula Jones case.

(SUPER: ARTWORK BY WILLIAM HENNESSY)

Lewinsky's second courthouse appearance also coincides with reports that the independent counsel's office now has a sample of the President's D-N-A. Such a sample would be needed to complete the analysis of the alleged stain on a dress Lewinsky turned over to Starr.
