Starr reportedly has a set of written "talking points," which appear to have been written by a lawyer, that Lewinsky used to urge Tripp to tailor her testimony to protect Clinton.

At 1 p.m. they took the stunned Lewinsky to a set of rooms and commenced an on-again, off-again interrogation that would last 10 hours. Starr's office said she was free to leave at any time...
