Monica Lewinsky admitted former President Bill Clinton wanted her to lie about their relationship under oath if she was called to testify in the Paula Jones case, Fox News reported. Lewinsky said she was uncomfortable doing that.
“I have never actually attempted suicide, but I had strong suicidal temptations several times during the investigations and during one or two periods after.”
Obstruction of justice…
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
According to Fox News:
Monica Lewinsky has opened up for the first time about how Bill Clinton convinced her “to break the law” and lie under oath.
In the final part of the A&E docuseries “The Clinton Affair,” Lewinsky revealed that Clinton convinced her to deny the affair if she was called to testify in the Paula Jones case. The 45-year-old recalled the former president telling her that she could avoid being deposed if she denied the affair in an affidavit.
Lewinsky said that Clinton had called her at 2:30 in the morning to let her know that she was on the witness list for the Paula Jones case.
“I was petrified. I was frantic about my family and this becoming public,” Lewinsky tearfully recalled. “Thankfully, Bill helped me lock myself back from that and he said I could probably sign an affidavit to get out of it, and he didn’t even know if a 100 percent I would be subpoenaed.”
She was subpoenaed a few days later.
And though she clarified that Clinton never said the words “you’re going to have to lie here,” Lewinsky pointed out that he also never said “we’re going to have to tell the truth.”
After being subpoenaed, the former White House staffer decided to talk to attorney Vernon Jordan, a close friend of Clinton. In the documentary, Lewinsky claims that she managed to secure a meeting with Jordan on her own and from that meeting, she was introduced to lawyer Frank Carter.
“Frank Carter explained to me if I’d signed an affidavit denying having had an intimate relationship with the president it might mean I wouldn’t have to be deposed in the Paula Jones case,” she recounted. “I did feel uncomfortable about it but I felt it was the right thing to do, ironically, right? So, the right thing to do, to break the law.” More
She had an extramarital affair with a man who was one of the most famous men in the world at the time… What did she expect?
