The August 1998 exchange yielded what Starr would ultimately characterize as three lies – or instances of perjury. First, when Clinton denied engaging in oral sex (answering the question of whether it was performed on him, “As I understood it, it was not, no.”); next when Clinton suggested, “You are free to infer that my testimony is that I did not have sexual relations, as I understood this term to be defined”; and finally that he had implicitly misled prosecutors about when the relationship began. But the interrogation is most famous for Clinton’s lawyerly demurrals and deflections. None more so than his response when asked whether “the statement (made by his lawyer) that there was ‘no sex of any kind in any manner, shape or form, with President Clinton,’ was an utterly false statement”?
