This doesn't make any sense. Why would any of the "tabloid media" have been interested in Foster or his office before he was killed? And can "tabloid media" folks just roam the WH halls as they please? In any case, telling them to stay away would seem like catnip to me.

OK, I'll quote directly from the National Enquirer article, which you may find confusing in and of itself.
In a bombshell world exclusive, Mr. Fix It provided the National Enquirer with an inside look at the panic inside the White House from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. after Vince's body was discovered at a Virginia park on July 20. 1993.
The deputy White House counsel was found fatally shot in the mouth with a .38 caliber pistol at his side.
"My job was handling the tabloid press," said Mr. Fix It. "I got a call from the White House saying: 'You're going to be getting questions. Hold them off for a half hour.'
"During that half hour, I later learned the Secret Service stood guard as Hillary's chief of staff, Margaret Williams,hauled away boxes of papers before the Park Police shoed up to seal that office."
Mr. Fix It told the Enquirer the goal was to raid Vince's safe for incriminating Whitewater documents that could have ended Bill's presidency - and led to charges being filed.
The White House was going nuts trying to find the combination to Vincent Foster's safe. White House experts were brought in to crack it and documents were removed - after the office had been sealed," Mr. Fix It charged.
The half hour stretched on to about two hours, though I had to tell my tabloid contacts they should, of course, run the story...only I couldn't give them anything."
