Starr report vs. the White House

- Whether President Clinton lied under oath about his relationship with Ms. Lewinsky, in the Paula Jones case and his grand jury testimony:
STARR: Under oath, Clinton denied any sexual relations with Ms. Lewinsky. Ms. Lewinsky testified "she and the president had 10 sexual encounters.''	CLINTON: The president interpreted "sexual affairs'' and "sexual relations'' to mean sexual intercourse, which he denied having with Ms. Lewinsky. Clinton believed Ms. Lewinsky's affidavit in the Jones case, in which she said she never had a "sexual relationship'' with Clinton, also was accurate. "To the president, the term reasonably requires sexual intercourse.''

- Whether Clinton had sex with Ms. Lewinsky:
STARR: FBI tests almost indisputably determined that semen found on one of Ms. Lewinsky's dresses came from Clinton.	CLINTON: Acknowledges an inappropriate relationship. "In the face of the president's admission of his relationship, the disclosure of lurid and salacious allegations can only be intended to humiliate the president and force him from office,'' the White House says.

- Whether Clinton sent personal secretary Betty Currie to retrieve gifts he'd given to Ms. Lewinsky:

STARR: "The afternoon of Dec. 28, a few hours after Ms. Lewinsky's White House visit, Ms. Currie drove to Ms. Lewinsky's Watergate apartment and collected a box containing the president's gifts. "According to Ms. Lewinsky, the transfer originated in a phone call from Ms. Currie that afternoon. Ms. Lewinsky testified that Ms. Currie said, 'I understand you have something to give me,' or 'The president said you have something to give me.''' Mrs. Currie testified she could remember few details.

CLINTON: Did not deny giving gifts to Ms. Lewinsky but says he did not ask Mrs. Currie to retrieve them. "The president told Ms. Lewinsky she would have to produce what she had, in response to a request. He did not ever suggest that gifts from him should be disposed of, and he did not ever ask or instruct Ms. Currie to pick up the gifts from Ms. Lewinsky.''

- Whether Clinton told Ms. Lewinsky how to testify in the Jones case:

STARR: "Ms. Lewinsky testified that in the early morning hours of Dec. 17, at roughly 2 or 2:30 a.m., she received a call from the president. According to Ms. Lewinsky, the president said 'it broke his heart' to see her name on the witness list. The president told her that she would not necessarily be subpoenaed; if she were, he 'suggested she could sign an affidavit to try to satisfy Ms. Jones' inquiry and not be deposed.' "He told Ms. Lewinsky that she 'should say she visited the White House to see Ms. Currie and, on occasion when working at the White House, she brought him letters when no one else was around.'''

CLINTON: "From feelings of both friendship and responsibility, the president remained in touch with Ms. Lewinsky after the improper relationship ended and tried to help her: None of this help was improper or conditioned on her behaving (or testifying) in any particular way.''

- Whether Clinton tried to obstruct justice by helping Ms. Lewinsky get a job in New York:
STARR: Clinton talked with Vernon Jordan about finding Ms. Lewinsky a job in New York. Jordan arranged for an interview with the parent company of cosmetics maker Revlon, and Ms. Lewinsky "received an informal offer for a position.'' Jordan called Clinton and told him "mission accomplished.''	CLINTON: White House says he "never tried to get Ms. Lewinsky a job,'' and "never instructed anyone to hire her.'' The president "did ask the White House personnel office to treat her fairly in her job search.''

- Whether Clinton lied under oath when he described a conversation with Jordan:
STARR: Clinton said he couldn't recall - Whether Jordan had talked with Ms. Lewinsky about her involvement in the Jones case. Jordan, however, testified he had a "continuing dialogue'' with Clinton about both Ms. Lewinsky's role in the Jones case and her job search _ "he (Clinton) knew about all of that,'' Jordan testified.	CLINTON: Mrs. Currie, the president's secretary, not the president, put Ms. Lewinsky in touch with Jordan. "As a private individual, (Jordan) is free to offer job advice wherever he sees fit.''

- Whether Clinton lied to aides, who then testified before the grand jury:

TARR: Clinton refused six invitations to testify before the grand jury, but denied having an affair in conversations with senior aides. "The president lied about his relationship with Ms. Lewinsky to senior aides, and those aides then conveyed the president's false story to the grand jury.'' Aide Sidney Blumenthal testified Clinton told him "Monica Lewinsky came at me and made a sexual demand,'' but he rebuffed her.

CLINTON: Has acknowledged misleading his family, staff and the country. "If allowing aides to repeat misleading statements is a crime, then any number of public officials are guilty of misusing their office.''

- Whether Clinton tried to influence Mrs. Currie's testimony:
STARR: Mrs. Currie was called into Clinton's office soon after the president's deposition in the Jones case. "The president wanted to discuss Ms. Lewinsky's White House visits. ... He proceeded to make a series of statements. ... Ms. Currie testified that, based on his demeanor and the way he made the statements, the president wanted her to agree with them.''	CLINTON: Testified that he did not "in any way attempt to influence her recollection.''
