No, it was to distract from the Ron Brown head wound which was getting traction at that time. The information forced Janet Reno just days before Lewinski broke to declare that there was no evidence to warrant an investigation. But the Congressional Black Caucus wasn't buying it and Jesse Jackson was preparing for war. THAT is when Lewinsky broke.
(not that the Mena stuff didn't happen too, it just was not an issue at the time of Lewinsky).
By the way, Larry Elder is in the news now for Governor of CA. He hosted the Chris Matthews show on 12/31/97 and it was all about Ron Brown. He had Cyril Wecht and others talking about all the evidence pointing to a bullet hole in Ron Brown's head. Elder was all over this but then went silent. When someone finally pressed him he responded 'nobody cared'. I listened to Larry quite a bit in the past. I am curious to see how he will perform as Governor if he makes it, but he has disappointed on a few occasions (like saying Biden won).
