- Good morning, Mr. President.
- Good morning.

48
00:03:05,562 --> 00:03:06,730
My name is Jim Fisher, sir,

49
00:03:06,897 --> 00:03:08,365
and I'm an attorney
from Dallas, Texas,

50
00:03:08,499 --> 00:03:10,367
and I represent the plaintiff,
Paula Jones, in this case.

51
00:03:10,501 --> 00:03:12,369
Do you understand
that your testimony today

52
00:03:12,503 --> 00:03:13,970
is subject
to the penalty of perjury?

53
00:03:14,070 --> 00:03:15,472
I do.

54
00:03:15,572 --> 00:03:17,808
Good.
Then I would like to start

55
00:03:17,908 --> 00:03:20,143
by defining a term.

56
00:03:20,243 --> 00:03:23,580
And that term
is "sexual relations."

57
00:03:27,918 --> 00:03:30,821
The definition was taken from
the Violence Against Women Act.

58
00:03:30,921 --> 00:03:32,255
The president might remember
that he signed it into law

59
00:03:32,423 --> 00:03:33,256
this past year.

60
00:03:33,424 --> 00:03:35,258
I thought it looked familiar.

61
00:03:35,426 --> 00:03:37,828
So you understand
the definition, Mr. President?

62
00:03:37,928 --> 00:03:39,496
Yes, I do.

63
00:03:39,596 --> 00:03:41,898
(inhales)
Now, you are aware,

64
00:03:42,032 --> 00:03:44,000
are you not, of the allegations
made against you

65
00:03:44,100 --> 00:03:45,736

66
00:03:45,869 --> 00:03:47,438
Yes, sir.
I'm aware.

67
00:03:47,604 --> 00:03:49,673
(inhales)
Mr. President,

68
00:03:49,773 --> 00:03:52,175
did you ever make any sexual
advances towards Paula Jones?

69
00:03:52,275 --> 00:03:54,177
No, I did not.

70
00:03:54,277 --> 00:03:56,012
Did you ever expose yourself
to Paula Jones?

71
00:03:56,112 --> 00:03:57,448
No, I did not.

72
00:03:57,614 --> 00:03:59,950
Did you ever ask Paula Jones
to kiss your penis?

73
00:04:00,116 --> 00:04:01,785
No, I did not.

74
00:04:01,952 --> 00:04:04,355
So you deny her testimony that,
in the Excelsior Hotel,

75
00:04:04,455 --> 00:04:05,689
while you were governor
of Arkansas,

76
00:04:05,789 --> 00:04:07,924
you asked her
to perform oral sex on you.

77
00:04:08,058 --> 00:04:10,093
I emphatically deny it.

78
00:04:10,226 --> 00:04:11,628
It did not happen.

that you sexually harassed her
while she was working

102
00:05:02,446 --> 00:05:03,414
as a volunteer
in the White House?

I'm aware of that.

104
00:05:05,449 --> 00:05:06,650

Did you place Mrs. Willey's hand

105
00:05:06,783 --> 00:05:08,485
on your penis
and kiss her on the lips

106
00:05:08,619 --> 00:05:10,186

108
00:05:11,455 --> 00:05:13,023
in my lifetime,

109
00:05:13,189 --> 00:05:16,026
I have never sexually harassed
a woman.

110

Mr. President,

111
00:05:19,129 --> 00:05:20,330

named Monica Lewinsky?

113
00:05:22,699 --> 00:05:23,767
I do.

114
00:05:23,867 --> 00:05:25,669
- How did you come to know her?
- She...

115
00:05:25,802 --> 00:05:28,171
worked at the White House
for a while,

116
00:05:28,304 --> 00:05:30,541
first as an intern
and then in the, uh,

117

118
00:05:32,208 --> 00:05:33,844
At any time,

119
00:05:33,977 --> 00:05:36,179
were you and Monica Lewinsky
together alone

120
00:05:36,312 --> 00:05:37,347

121
00:05:37,481 --> 00:05:40,350
Your Honor.
Excuse me, Mr. President.

122
00:05:40,484 --> 00:05:41,852
I'm gonna object
to the innuendo.

123
00:05:41,985 --> 00:05:44,354
Counsel is fully aware
that Ms. Lewinsky

124
00:05:44,488 --> 00:05:47,524
has an affidavit,
which they are in possession of,

125
00:05:47,658 --> 00:05:50,961
saying that there is
absolutely no sex of any kind

126
00:05:51,061 --> 00:05:52,563
in any manner, shape or form

127
00:05:52,729 --> 00:05:54,030
- with the president.
-(Fisher clears throat)

128
00:05:54,164 --> 00:05:55,198
Overruled.

129
00:05:55,331 --> 00:05:57,200
The witness
must answer the question.

130
00:05:57,333 --> 00:05:58,735
FISHER:
Mr. President, were you

131
00:05:58,902 --> 00:06:01,705
and Monica Lewinsky ever alone
together in the Oval Office?

132
00:06:01,838 --> 00:06:03,306
I don't recall.

133
00:06:03,406 --> 00:06:07,911
But, uh, when she worked in
the Legislative Affairs Office,

134
00:06:08,078 --> 00:06:10,714
they always had somebody there
on the weekends.

135
00:06:10,847 --> 00:06:13,884
Uh, typically,
I-I worked some on the weekends.

136
00:06:14,017 --> 00:06:17,387
Sometimes they-they'd bring me
things on the weekends.

137
00:06:17,521 --> 00:06:19,389
I-It seems to me that
she-she brought things to me

138
00:06:19,523 --> 00:06:21,992
once or twice on the weekends.

139
00:06:22,092 --> 00:06:23,326
And in that case, you know,

140
00:06:23,426 --> 00:06:25,161
wh-whatever time
she would be in there,

141
00:06:25,261 --> 00:06:27,664
drop it off,
exchange a few words and go.

142
00:06:27,764 --> 00:06:30,100
Have you ever given any gifts
to Monica Lewinsky?

143
00:06:31,201 --> 00:06:32,235
I don't recall.

144
00:06:32,368 --> 00:06:33,236
You know what they were?

145
00:06:33,369 --> 00:06:34,705
A hatpin.

146
00:06:35,706 --> 00:06:37,741
I don't... I don't remember.

147
00:06:37,874 --> 00:06:40,343
A book by Walt Whitman.

148
00:06:40,443 --> 00:06:43,013
(stammers)
You know, that...

149
00:06:43,113 --> 00:06:45,616
- I give people a lot of gifts.
-(exhales)

150
00:06:45,782 --> 00:06:46,950
You know? And, uh...

151
00:06:47,117 --> 00:06:49,252
And-and, you know,
when people are around,

152
00:06:49,385 --> 00:06:52,288
I-I give a lot of things I have
at the White House away.

153
00:06:52,455 --> 00:06:54,190
So, you know,
I could have given her a gift.

154
00:06:54,290 --> 00:06:57,093
Uh... I-I just don't remember
a specific gift.

155
00:06:57,227 --> 00:06:59,129
Has Monica Lewinsky
ever given you any gifts?

156
00:06:59,295 --> 00:07:00,764
Once or twice.
Uh...

157
00:07:00,897 --> 00:07:02,933
I-I think
she's given me a-a book or two.

158
00:07:03,066 --> 00:07:05,201
Has she ever given you a tie?

159
00:07:05,301 --> 00:07:08,471
I get given a lot of ties.
(chuckles softly)

160
00:07:11,975 --> 00:07:14,110
I believe
she has given me a tie, yes.

161
00:07:14,244 --> 00:07:16,046
Mr. President,
it's my understanding

162
00:07:16,146 --> 00:07:18,649
that Monica Lewinsky
has made statements to people,

163
00:07:18,815 --> 00:07:21,284
- and I'd like for you to...
- Uh, objection
to the form of the question.

164
00:07:21,417 --> 00:07:23,453
Counsel shouldn't testify.

165
00:07:23,587 --> 00:07:25,121
I will sustain the objection.

166
00:07:25,255 --> 00:07:26,923
(Fisher clears throat)

167
00:07:28,825 --> 00:07:29,826
Did you have an extramarital

168
00:07:29,993 --> 00:07:31,628
sexual affair
with Monica Lewinsky?

169
00:07:31,762 --> 00:07:32,829
No.

170
00:07:32,996 --> 00:07:34,965
If she told someone that she had

171
00:07:35,098 --> 00:07:36,833
a sexual affair with you
beginning in...

172
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,570
November of 1995,
would that be a lie?

173
00:07:39,670 --> 00:07:41,237
It's certainly not the truth.

174
00:07:41,337 --> 00:07:43,574
It would not be the truth.

175
00:07:43,674 --> 00:07:46,743
I have never had sexual
relations with Monica Lewinsky.

176
00:07:46,843 --> 00:07:48,511
I've never had an affair
with her.

177
00:07:50,013 --> 00:07:52,415
Just so the record is clear,

178
00:07:52,515 --> 00:07:53,984
at any time,

179
00:07:54,117 --> 00:07:56,587
have you and Monica Lewinsky
been alone together

with such conviction.

184
00:08:05,629 --> 00:08:07,330
I answered with such conviction.

185

Is there something

Absolutely not.
You cannot do that.

229

261
00:11:41,912 --> 00:11:43,479
New York thinks it's too risky.

262
00:11:43,579 --> 00:11:44,747
What if Lewinsky's
not telling the truth?

263
00:11:44,915 --> 00:11:46,316
We know she's telling the truth.

264
00:11:46,416 --> 00:11:47,984
- Yeah, that's not good enough.
- Of course it is.

265
00:11:48,084 --> 00:11:51,154
You're asking the most respected
newsmagazine in America

266
00:11:51,254 --> 00:11:53,756
to say the president
is having an affair

267
00:11:53,924 --> 00:11:54,891
and then lied about it
under oath.

268
00:11:55,025 --> 00:11:56,893
And your only real source

269
00:11:57,027 --> 00:11:58,761
is one girl's voice on a tape,

270
00:11:58,929 --> 00:12:01,564

even actually spoken to.

271
00:12:01,697 --> 00:12:03,233

272
00:12:03,366 --> 00:12:05,001
And then we'll go for it
in our next issue.

273
00:12:05,101 --> 00:12:09,005
This story
is gonna break in 24 hours.

274
00:12:09,105 --> 00:12:12,575
Call New York and tell them
we can't fucking wait.

275
00:12:12,708 --> 00:12:14,744
If you could, for just once in
your life, refrain from acting

276
00:12:14,878 --> 00:12:17,447
- like your...
- We have our own Watergate.

277
00:12:17,613 --> 00:12:21,017

(exhales)

292
00:13:20,776 --> 00:13:22,979
something came up
during my deposition

293
00:13:23,113 --> 00:13:25,515
that I wanted
to talk to you about.

294
00:13:26,516 --> 00:13:29,685
The lawyers were asking
some strange questions.

295
00:13:31,021 --> 00:13:32,455
Questions about Monica.

296
00:13:34,124 --> 00:13:36,859
I was hoping that you could,
uh...

297
00:13:37,027 --> 00:13:38,694
refresh my memory
on a few things.

298
00:13:39,795 --> 00:13:41,531
I can try, certainly.

299
00:13:43,199 --> 00:13:45,301
As far as you recall...

300
00:13:46,536 --> 00:13:48,671
...you were always with me
and Monica

301
00:13:48,804 --> 00:13:50,040
when she came to visit, right?

302
00:13:52,375 --> 00:13:53,476
That's right.

303
00:13:53,609 --> 00:13:56,546
So Monica and I
were never alone together.

304
00:13:58,314 --> 00:14:01,184
- No, sir.
- But she was... (exhales)

305
00:14:01,317 --> 00:14:02,518
interested in me.

306
00:14:02,652 --> 00:14:04,520
How do you mean?

307
00:14:04,654 --> 00:14:06,189
Well, this is awkward.

308
00:14:06,322 --> 00:14:09,192
Um, I apologize.

309
00:14:09,325 --> 00:14:10,726
I mean sexually.

310
00:14:12,328 --> 00:14:15,331
You know, Monica came on to me
and, uh...

311
00:14:16,499 --> 00:14:18,034
...she wanted to sleep with me.

312
00:14:18,168 --> 00:14:19,869
Right?

313
00:14:20,003 --> 00:14:21,004
Yes, sir.

314
00:14:22,238 --> 00:14:24,174
But nothing happened.

315
00:14:25,241 --> 00:14:26,576
Because that would be wrong.

316
00:14:28,178 --> 00:14:29,712
- That would be wrong.
- Good.

317
00:14:29,845 --> 00:14:31,414
(crunching, sucking)

318
00:14:31,581 --> 00:14:34,584

- Yes, Mr. President.

713

Well, I'm an expert
at sexual imbroglios.

714
00:33:06,195 --> 00:33:07,529
You know
I didn't want to let you go.

715
00:33:07,696 --> 00:33:09,831

My staff forced my hand.

716
00:33:09,964 --> 00:33:11,266
Your political advisor

717
00:33:11,366 --> 00:33:14,269
got caught sucking
a prostitute's toes.

718
00:33:14,369 --> 00:33:16,271
I'd have told you
to fire me myself.

719
00:33:16,371 --> 00:33:18,340

- I know.
- No.

721
00:33:20,475 --> 00:33:23,878
No, I fucked this up
beyond all recognition.

722
00:33:24,045 --> 00:33:25,280
I walk in a room,

723
00:33:25,380 --> 00:33:27,349
I don't know what

724
00:33:27,482 --> 00:33:29,118
I don't know what Starr has.

725
00:33:29,218 --> 00:33:31,286
I don't know

726
00:33:31,386 --> 00:33:34,323
I can't form
any kind of response.

727
00:33:35,490 --> 00:33:36,525
What are people saying?

728
00:33:36,658 --> 00:33:37,726
Honestly,

729
00:33:37,892 --> 00:33:39,294
they're saying
Al Gore better be reading up

730
00:33:39,394 --> 00:33:40,862

731
00:33:40,995 --> 00:33:43,232
because he's going to be
commander in chief by summer.

732
00:33:43,398 --> 00:33:45,967
I can't be
fucking Richard Nixon.

733
00:33:46,067 --> 00:33:48,370
You know,
everything you work for gone,

734
00:33:48,503 --> 00:33:50,905
shell of yourself
for the rest of your life.

735
00:33:52,241 --> 00:33:55,244
You told me once if,
at the start of Watergate,

736
00:33:55,410 --> 00:33:57,412
he would've manned up
and admitted it,

737
00:33:57,579 --> 00:33:58,880
he would have survived.

738
00:33:59,013 --> 00:34:01,716
So I-I'm thinking
I-I just admit it,

739
00:34:01,850 --> 00:34:03,318
apologize,

740
00:34:03,418 --> 00:34:05,220
kill the story.

741
00:34:05,354 --> 00:34:07,322
But I can't.

742
00:34:07,422 --> 00:34:08,923
Because it would destroy
Hillary.

743
00:34:09,090 --> 00:34:12,261
I think she'd walk out on me.

744
00:34:12,427 --> 00:34:13,595
I don't know what to do.

745
00:34:13,762 --> 00:34:16,265
Well, let me help you with that.

746
00:34:21,603 --> 00:34:23,338
(grunts, inhales)

747
00:34:23,438 --> 00:34:25,740
Small sample,
but it's an RDD poll.

748
00:34:25,874 --> 00:34:27,609
Good quality.

749
00:34:33,448 --> 00:34:36,185
You think I don't know
why you called me

750
00:34:36,285 --> 00:34:39,621
instead of one
of your PC liberals on staff?

751
00:34:39,788 --> 00:34:40,689
You want the truth?

752
00:34:40,789 --> 00:34:41,756
Well, there it is.

753
00:34:41,890 --> 00:34:43,758
The American people know
you're a man.

754
00:34:43,892 --> 00:34:45,927
Hell, most of them
actually like that about you.

755
00:34:46,060 --> 00:34:47,762
If it were just the sex,

756
00:34:47,896 --> 00:34:49,464
they'd forgive it.

757
00:34:49,631 --> 00:34:52,967
But look at the unfavs
on question 17.

758
00:34:55,470 --> 00:34:57,939
It's about what you said
under oath.

759
00:34:58,072 --> 00:35:00,442
Admitting to the affair
is admitting to perjury.

760
00:35:00,575 --> 00:35:02,711
And if you admit to perjury,

761
00:35:02,811 --> 00:35:04,479
you lose all public support,

762
00:35:04,646 --> 00:35:06,448
even among your base.

763
00:35:06,581 --> 00:35:07,649
You'd have to resign.

764
00:35:08,817 --> 00:35:10,219
Take it from me--
being disgraced

765
00:35:10,319 --> 00:35:11,653
isn't as fun as it sounds.

766
00:35:16,658 --> 00:35:18,159
You can't tell the truth.

767
00:35:24,666 --> 00:35:25,934
Well, then it's simple.

768
00:35:29,003 --> 00:35:31,606
We just have to win.

769
00:35:37,512 --> 00:35:38,647
<i>BLUMENTHAL:
Mr. President,</i>

770
00:35:38,780 --> 00:35:40,482
we just need to be able
to explain

771
00:35:40,615 --> 00:35:43,151
why she would go
into such graphic detail

772
00:35:43,285 --> 00:35:45,086
talking about you.

773
00:35:45,186 --> 00:35:47,155
Do you know this person at all?

774
00:35:47,289 --> 00:35:49,691
Look, when Monica worked here,

775
00:35:49,858 --> 00:35:51,493
she was a nice girl.

776
00:35:51,626 --> 00:35:53,328
Hardworking.

777
00:35:53,462 --> 00:35:55,664
But you could tell
she was troubled.

778
00:35:55,797 --> 00:35:58,667
You know?
She comes from a broken home.

779
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:00,935
I would talk to her on occasion,

780
00:36:01,035 --> 00:36:02,504
give her advice.

781
00:36:02,637 --> 00:36:05,340
(exhales) You know, I was
just trying to help her out.

782
00:36:05,474 --> 00:36:08,310
And I think
she got the wrong idea.

783
00:36:09,311 --> 00:36:11,012
She came on to you?

784
00:36:11,145 --> 00:36:14,283
Well, she started calling Betty
at all hours.

785
00:36:14,383 --> 00:36:17,452
You know, turning up at events
where she knew I'd be.

786
00:36:17,552 --> 00:36:18,887
She got fixated.

787
00:36:19,888 --> 00:36:22,123
You know,
she told me her friends

788
00:36:22,223 --> 00:36:24,859
called her "the stalker."

789
00:36:24,993 --> 00:36:27,195
And she said, you know,
if she and I had sex,

790
00:36:27,329 --> 00:36:29,698
then they couldn't
call her that anymore.

791
00:36:29,831 --> 00:36:32,033
(exhales)
Jesus.

792
00:36:32,166 --> 00:36:34,035
Did you tell anyone?

793
00:36:34,168 --> 00:36:36,638
When the ladies in the office
saw how she was behaving,

794
00:36:36,738 --> 00:36:37,972
they had her moved.

795
00:36:38,072 --> 00:36:39,641
And that was it.

796
00:36:39,741 --> 00:36:41,976
You know,
I-I can't speak for whatever...

797
00:36:42,076 --> 00:36:45,246
fantasy she may have spun
talking to her friend.
