He called for an end to "prying into private lives" and declared his "personal failure" a family matter. "It's nobody's business but ours," Clinton said. " Even Presidents have private lives." While offering no details, Clinton insisted he is not guilty of perjury or obstruction of justice and suggested it's time for Starr to wrap up his four-year investigation. " This has gone on too long, cost too much and hurt too many innocent people," he said. Advertisement
The President appeared calm and poised. The circles under his eyes were noticeable, but not unusual. The speech capped an excruciating day of cross-examination in which Starr extracted the President's admission that he had an "inappropriate" relationship with a former White House intern a few years older than his daughter. First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, who was said by family spiritual adviser the Rev. Jesse Jackson to be humiliated by her husband's revelation of infidelity, helped work on the text, aides said.
