President Clinton may be faced with paying the $4.39 million costs of the Starr investigation into his relationship with Ms Monica Lewinsky.
He may also be placed in the embarrassing situation of the country being able to view a videotape of his confidential testimony to a Grand Jury where he loses his temper when questioned about the kind of sexual relations he had with Ms Monica Lewinsky.
Meanwhile, the White House has confirmed that the President will receive weekly spiritual counselling by a group of pastors. One of them, Rev Tony Campolo, said: "We want to provide all the help we can to spiritually strengthen him against yielding to the temptations that have conquered him in the past."
The Republican senator Mr Frank Murkowski has presented a resolution to the Senate calling for President Clinton to pay the costs of the investigation by the Independent Counsel, Mr Ken Starr, which lasted over seven months while the President continued to deny a sexual relationship.
"Equity demands that the costs be borne by the President not the taxpayer," Senator Murkowski said in presenting his resolution to the Senate, where the Republicans have a majority.
The White House press secretary, Mr Mike McCurry, strongly denied that the President owed the taxpayers any money for the Starr investigation.
Meanwhile, Republicans and Democrats in the House Judiciary Committee are arguing over whether the videotape of Mr Clinton's Grand Jury testimony of August 17th should be released as part of the 17 boxes of material which accompanied the Starr report.
The White House is said to be apprehensive about the videotape being released as it allegedly shows the President looking evasive, angry and uncomfortable as he was questioned by Mr Starr and his team.
At one stage, Mr Clinton is said to have become so angry at the intrusive nature of the questions that he demanded that proceedings stop and he be given a one-hour break to cool down.
The White House is also afraid that Republicans may use the videotape for election advertisements during the current campaign.
The President and the White House are also under pressure from Democratic leaders to drop the legal hair-splitting over his definition of sexual relations and admit he lied in his testimony.
The Senate minority leader, Mr Tom Daschle, said in his statement that "the President and his advisers must accept that continued legal jousting serves no constructive purpose". The senator said that "there is a basic understanding of the standard of truthfulness that the President failed to meet. He had, as he concedes, a sexual relationship that was undeniably wrong and he didn't tell the truth about it".
The House minority leader, Mr Dick Gephardt, said that "the considered judgment of the American people is not going to rise or fall on the fine distinctions of a legal argument but on straight talk and the truth". The White House rushed out a conciliatory statement saying that the President "has made clear that he does not want the work of his lawyers to get in the way of his admission that he had an improper relationship and he misled people to keep it private".
Legal observers point out that the President is being put in a very difficult position by Democrats calling for him to admit perjury in exchange for a motion of censure. If the President were to admit that he lied under oath to the Grand Jury the Republicans in Congress could seize on this to move to impeach him.
He could even leave himself open to being indicted for perjury in a criminal court after his Presidential term ends in 2000. It is also possible that Ms Paula Jones could use such an admission to win a large settlement against Mr Clinton for her sexual harassment civil suit as he would be admitting he lied when testifying to her lawyers.
