-Caveat Lector- Clinton Accuser Passed Lie Detector By PETE YOST .c The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) -- Kathleen Willey says she's prepared to testify again if her one-time friend Julie Hiatt Steele is retried for obstructing the investigation of President Clinton. Newly unsealed results of two FBI polygraph examinations of Mrs. Willey show she failed a question on the first test regarding whether she provided details of an alleged sexual advance by Clinton to her friend Ms. Steele. She passed a later test in which she alleged that advance took place. Mrs. Willey explained to the polygraph examiner last year that at first she couldn't recall when she told Ms. Steele of the alleged 1993 incident with Clinton, but was reminded of it later by Ms. Steele. In a second lie detector test six days after the first one, Mrs. Willey was found to be truthful after answering ``yes'' to two questions: ``Before 1997 did you tell Julie Steele that the president came on to you?'' and ``In 1993 did you tell Julie Steele about an encounter with the president in his office?'' Ms. Steele says the first time she'd heard of an alleged Clinton-Willey encounter was when Mrs. Willey asked her to lie about it to Newsweek magazine in 1997. Mrs. Willey was the chief prosecution witness for Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr's office in last week's obstruction trial of Ms. Steele for allegedly lying to two grand juries and the FBI in Starr's investigation of Clinton, who denies any sexual encounter with Mrs. Willey. The jury deadlocked in Ms. Steele's trial in Alexandria, Va. Starr is considering whether to seek a new trial and has filed a court motion asking for permission to approach jurors who are willing to be interviewed by prosecutors about how they reached their views on Ms. Steele's guilt or innocence. ``I'd like to see (the case) retried,'' Mrs. Willey said Wednesday night on CNN's ``Larry King Live.'' Of her testimony last week, Mrs. Willey said, ``I've done it once. I guess I could do it again.'' Regarding Ms. Steele, Mrs. Willey said, ``I think she did try to obstruct justice'' by telling Starr's investigators a story that contradicted part of Mrs. Willey's account. U.S. District Judge Claude Hilton unsealed the 1998 lie detector results this week after a federal appeals court directed him to reconsider an earlier denial. News organizations, including The Associated Press, went to court to challenge the secrecy surrounding the documents. On another part of the polygraph examinations in which she said Clinton made a sexual advance, Mrs. Willey initially tested ``inconclusive'' but in the second test was found to be truthful. In the second test last Sept. 15 in the FBI's Washington field office, Mrs. Willey was asked, ``In November 1993 did the president place his hand on your breast?'' and ``Did President Clinton place your hand on his groin?'' Both times, Mrs. Willey answered ``yes,'' a three-page FBI summary of the test results stated. ``It is the opinion of this examiner that Ms. Willey was truthful'' when responding to those two questions, the summary added. The polygraph questions did not address whether Clinton's alleged advance against Mrs. Willey was unwanted. Mrs. Willey says she rebuffed him.
