Content: If the allegations are true, he didn't just try to talk her out of testifying honestly by himself but also enlisted the help of Vernon Jordan, one of the most powerful and well-connected lawyers in Washington. If the allegations are true, the questions speak not only to Clinton's judgment but also to his self-control, his character, even his stability. Bill Clinton has survived so many seemingly fatal reversals that few in Washington are willing to predict that this will be the one to finally capsize his political career. But even many of his most ardent defenders understand that these charges could present Clinton with the most formidable challenge of his career. At week's end, despite an accelerating cascade of accusations—including persistent rumors linking Clinton to other women—decisive proof of any of these allegations remained distant. 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.
