There is never an end to the Clinton scandals. Not even the ones that have ended. Case in point? We’re still learning about how much Bill lied about Monica Lewinsky. He lied so much that he had to convince HER to lie, too. Which he did.
Fox News reported today on the new documentary from A&E that covers the affair, scandal, and impeachment. In one episode of the limited series, Lewinsky tells the story of how Bill not only got her to agree to sign an affidavit lying about their affair, but rewarded her for it with a big fat Christmas smooch in the Oval Office. Check it out.
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.”
Following her decision to sign the affidavit, Clinton called Lewinsky to the White House for a somewhat private Christmas celebration.
“This is the first time I met Buddy, the dog, and we kind of all played around with Buddy in the office and then we went into the back study and we had a Christmas kiss,” the Vanity Fair writer revealed.
She continued: “Over the summer he had gone to Martha’s Vineyard and he brought back a bunch of different things. He had this big canvas bag from the Black Dog. This marble bear, sunglasses. It was the most presents he’d given me at one time. He knew the subpoena was gonna ask to produce certain items and yet he was giving me more gifts. He clearly still trusted me.”
Here’s the link to the documentary, and below is the trailer. I know I’m going to watch.
