Miss Lewinsky, who is alleged to have had an affair with President Clinton, attended the federal building in Los Angeles to give samples of her handwriting, her voice and fingerprints.

Kenneth Starr: under fire from Lewinsky camp

"My daughter was a pawn and Kenneth Starr is trying to use her as pawn to get to the presidency. It is unfair. It is totally un-American," said her father, Dr Bernard Lewinsky, as he entered the building with her.

Her lawyer, William Ginsburg, said Mr Starr had ruined the lives of Miss Lewinsky and her family to try at most to unmask a sexual relationship between two consenting adults.

In an open letter published in California Lawyer magazine, Mr Ginsburg said Mr Starr had abused the power of the office of independent counsel and called on President Clinton to fire him.

Lewinsky wants to tell her story

Mr Starr, an independent counsel, has been investigating allegations that Clinton had an affair with the former White House intern and later asked her to lie about it to lawyers in the Paula Jones sexual harassment lawsuit.

The president, who has denied the existence of an affair and cover-up, is turning down invitations to testify in the investigation.

The former intern and the president allegedly had an 18-month relationship.

Miss Lewinsky and Mr Clinton have denied under oath having had any sexual relationship.

She has yet to testify before a federal grand jury about the matter, but her spokeswoman said she wants to tell her side of the story.
