President Clinton's lawyers apologized to Monica Lewinksy today "on behalf of the President" for the difficulties the impeachment investigation has caused her.
The apology came during Lewinsky's deposition in the Senate impeachment trial.
The President's lawyers turned down the chance to ask Lewinsky any questions during the deposition.
House Manager Ed Bryant spent about four hours questioning her.
Sources say Lewinsky's testimony today closely tracked her earlier account to a federal grand jury.
The deposition at a Washington hotel was videotaped, and senators can start viewing it tomorrow.
The President's friend, Vernon Jordan, will be deposed tomorrow.

Lewinsky had returned to Washington over the weekend. She was the
first of three witnesses to be deposed.

Congressman Ed Bryant is the prosecutor who questioned her.

The Senators who presided over the session claimed to be muzzled by Senate rules.

THE VIDEOTAPE TO THE SENATORS--BUT WILL NOT DISCUSS IT.

Earlier Mr. Clinton's attorney accused Kenneth Starr's office of
violating grand jury secrecy_of leaking a story that Starr may indict
the President before he leaves office.
