In a biting, 32-page opinion, U.S. District Judge Susan Webber Wright of Arkansas said Clinton gave "false, misleading and evasive answers that were designed to obstruct the judicial process" in Jones's sexual harassment lawsuit. She specifically cited Clinton's assertions that he was never alone with Lewinsky and that he did not have a sexual relationship with the former White House intern. Go To Site

In what Politico bills "the first definitive history of the Clinton scandal," former White House intern Monica Lewinsky says former President Bill Clinton lied under oath when describing their romantic encounters... Lewinsky told Gormley, a Duquesne University law professor, that she believes Clinton lied during his grand jury testimony. "There was no leeway [there] on the veracity of his statements because they asked him detailed and specific questions to which he answered untruthfully," she reportedly wrote to Gormley.
