Tuesday January 25 3:43 AM ET Judge Gives Questioning Go-Ahead WASHINGTON (AP) - A federal judge has given permission for additional questioning in a lawsuit by former government employees whose FBI background files were collected by the White House. Turning aside objections by the Clinton administration, U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth ruled Monday that the conservative group that filed the suit should be permitted to question former FBI official Larry Potts about his work for a private investigative firm that also had been retained by Clinton's legal team in the Monica Lewinsky scandal. President Clinton's lawyers objected to questions about contacts Potts had with the FBI since he began working for the firm, Investigative Group International, because it would force Potts to reveal privileged communications he had with the president's lawyers. ``Clinton's and Potts's argument misses the point,'' Lamberth wrote. ``Not all discussions among a group of people ... may be entitled to claim the privilege.'' Lawyers for Judicial Watch want to question Potts about whether he and IGI investigated Linda Tripp, whose secret tape-recordings triggered the perjury and obstruction probe of the president. The conservative group also wants to question Potts about contacts he or the investigative firm may have had with the first lady, Clinton supporter James Carville or White House aide Sidney Blumenthal. The White House has said that the gathering of hundreds of FBI files of employees from past Republican administrations was a bureaucratic blunder committed by an Army detailee to the White House. **COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U.
