The watch case, according to press reports, had contained a gift from a female friend, but neither the Congressman nor Lynch have publicly explained why he was disposing of it in that manner.
I refused to watch that Connie Chung pad-piece, but didn't she ask Condidit about this? It's been posted here at FR that he told her he was just "dumping trash from his office.," I recall writing that this was some pathetic excuse, so of course, Connie "I'm a professional journalist" Chung naturally didn't follow up with incredulity to it.
