Ms Monica Lewinsky will be seen today testifying on videotape in the impeachment trial of President Clinton, which is expected to conclude before the end of next week.
The trial was suspended for one day yesterday as lawyers for both sides prepared for the final phase, and transcripts of the testimony of three witnesses, Ms Lewinsky, Mr Vernon Jordan and Mr Sidney Blumenthal, were made available.
Congressman Ed Bryant, the Republican prosecutor who questioned Ms Lewinsky, said yesterday that she had given the prosecution "the minimum".
He told Good Morning America: "I think if you see the deposition you will see a person who was trying her best to tell the truth and yet still help the President. There's no question that she is still a very loyal, supportive person of the President and disagrees with what we're doing."
In her testimony, Ms Lewinsky tells Mr Bryant that she still has "mixed feelings" about President Clinton, with whom she had an affair over 18 months.
"I think what you need to know is that my grand jury testimony is truthful, irrespective of whatever those mixed feelings are in my testimony today," she told Mr Bryant.
She answered "Yes" twice when Mr Bryant asked if she still admired the President and appreciated "what he is doing for this country as the President".
The prosecutors are expected to make extensive use of videotaped testimony from the three witnesses in their presentations today and final statements on Monday.
White House lawyers have been refused the right to know in advance which video clips will be used by the prosecution, but they are expected to make use of the video testimony to make counter-arguments.
Meanwhile, the attempt by some Republican senators to get Democratic support for a "finding of fact" motion which would state Mr Clinton had wilfully misled the grand jury and had tried to thwart justice has failed. Attention has now switched to drafting a motion of censure which could be supported by both parties.
Republican and Democratic senators are anxious that Mr Clinton should not get away scotfree or openly celebrate when he is acquitted, as expected, of perjury and obstruction of justice. Both sides acknowledge the two-thirds majority needed for a conviction is not present in the Senate.
A number of senators from both parties are also trying to get the necessary two-thirds support to open up their final deliberations to the public.
Under present Senate rules, this stage takes place behind closed doors, when each senator has up to 15 minutes to explain his or her position. However, the actual voting on the two articles of impeachment will take place in public.
A vote on opening up the final deliberations will be taken next week. The final votes on the impeachment articles should be taken on Thursday or Friday, thus bringing to an end a saga which began just over a year ago with media reports of the President's affair with a former White House intern and his alleged efforts to cover it up.
