WASHINGTON (AP) - Paula Jones is awaiting the arrival of an $850,000 cheque
from President Clinton, bringing an official end to the four-year saga
spurred by her allegations of sexual harassment.
Clinton mailed the settlement cheque to Mrs. Jones on Tuesday, even as he
braced for the heaviest fallout yet from her harassment suit - an
impeachment trial in the Senate.
To finance the settlement, the president drew about $375,000 from his and
Hillary Rodham Clinton's personal funds and got the rest of the money, about
$475,000, from an insurance policy, a White House official told The
Associated Press.
"This ends it. The check is being Fed-Exed" to Bill McMillan, one of Mrs.
Jones' lawyers, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The official said the personal funds were drawn from the Clintons' blind
trust, which was valued in their financial disclosure statement at between $
1 million and about $5 million. None of the money was drawn from Clinton's
legal defense fund, which raises money from private citizens to defray his
legal bills, the official said.

How much of that money Mrs. Jones will see is still at issue. As the
settlement was reached in November, Mrs. Jones faced an outstanding claim by
Joseph Cammarata and Gilbert Davis, the two lawyers who quit her case last
year and filed an $800,000 lien against any settlement in order to collect
legal fees.
"I don't think it's been decided yet" how much Mrs. Jones will receive, said
her friend and adviser, Susan Carpenter McMillan Tuesday night. "We did
hear they are sending out the check. We hope to receive it soon."
Mrs. Jones' lawsuit brought to light the president's affair with former
White House intern Monica Lewinsky and set in motion a criminal
investigation that resulted in a historic House vote last month to impeach
Clinton.
The president files his trial brief today, and House prosecutors on Thursday
will begin presenting to the Senate their case that the president
obstructed justice in the Jones lawsuit and lied about it before a federal
grand jury.

Clinton reached a settlement with Mrs. Jones on November 13 after four years
of litigation.
Under that settlement, Clinton didn't admit any wrongdoing or apologize and
simply agreed to make a cash settlement to Mrs. Jones, a former Arkansas
state worker.
Mrs. Jones alleged that Clinton, when he was governor of Arkansas, made a
crude advance in a room at a Little Rock hotel in 1991. Clinton has
steadfastly denied her accusation.
Clinton testified in that lawsuit on January 17, 1998, and during
questioning about his relationships with other women, denied he had "sexual
relations" with Ms. Lewinsky. Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr got
permission to investigate whether Clinton was trying to obstruct the lawsuit.
Clinton was forced to acknowledge a relationship with Ms. Lewinsky in
testimony before a federal grand jury last August. Starr's investigation led
to a referral to the House of Representatives accusing Clinton of several
criminal acts.
U.S. District Judge Susan Webber Wright dismissed the lawsuit last April 1,
ruling that Mrs. Jones' allegations, even if true, wouldn't qualify as a
case of sexual harassment. An appeal of that dismissal was pending before a
federal appeals court when the settlement was reached.
