Content: In a series of interviews, Clinton denied that he had a sexual relationship with Lewinsky, or that he asked her to lie in the Jones case, or that he asked Jordan to entice her to lie. Jordan likewise denied pressuring Lewinsky to lie. Lewinsky herself officially stood by an affidavit she gave earlier this month in the Jones case in which she also denied any sexual relationship with the president. Sources said that Hillary Rodham Clinton told Chelsea the Lewinsky story was a flat-out lie. But others within the White House clearly felt as if they could not be sure what was true. To a startling degree, even senior White House staff found themselves kept in the dark last week; sources said Clinton was sharing the details of what he did, and didn't do, only with his outside lawyers. Senior Clinton advisers say the blackout is due to their reluctance to confront him over potentially embarrassing details—and their awareness that they could be vulnerable to subpoena later on if they learned sensitive information. Aides described Clinton himself as oddly subdued in discussing the furor, as if it were happening to someone else and he was observing it from afar. Ominously for the White House, Lewinsky's sworn denial of the affair hardly seemed ironclad.
