Landow testimony before House panel delayedWhite House to respond to 81 questions sometime WednesdayWASHINGTON (AllPolitics, November 23) -- Nathan Landow, a fund-raiser for the Democrats, has been granted more time to prepare for his testimony before the House Judiciary Committee as its impeachment inquiry against President Bill Clinton continues. Landow's request was expected to delay his deposition until next week. Kathleen Willey has claimed Landow pressured her to change her story that Clinton improperly touched her when she visited with him in the Oval Office complex in 1993. Landow was scheduled to give his deposition Tuesday. Meanwhile, another witness, Willey attorney Daniel Gecker, was being deposed Monday before the House committee. Independent Counsel Ken Starr declined to comment on Gecker's appearance, saying, "I don't think I should be commenting on what Congress may be doing." Talking to reporters Monday morning outside his home in McLean, Virginia, Starr said he still does not know when his investigation would be completed. Starr said he talked to his former ethics adviser, Sam Dash, after Dash resigned Friday over disagreements about Starr's role in the House impeachment inquiry. Starr, however, declined to disclose the nature of their conversation. When asked if he plans to send any more documents to the committee, Starr replied, "No, I don't think so." In another development, White House officials told CNN they expect President Clinton to send answers to the 81 questions posed by the House Judiciary Chairman Henry Hyde some time on Wednesday. They say Clinton will review the answers Tuesday. The president is due to return to the White House Monday night from trip to Asia. White House and congressional sources say they expect the Judiciary Committee to vote on impeachment articles December 7 or 8, with the full House to consider the issue the following week later. CNN's Dave Adhicary and Jonathan Karl contributed to this report. |
