Ken Starr: Difference between revisions

During the deposition in the Jones case, Clinton was asked, "Have you ever had sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky, as that term is defined in Deposition Exhibit&nbsp;1, as modified by the Court?" The definition included contact with the genitalia, anus, groin, breast, inner thigh, or buttocks of a person with an intent to arouse or gratify the sexual desire of that person, any contact of the genitals or anus of another person, or contact of one's genitals or anus and any part of another person's body either directly or through clothing.<ref name="deposition-pj">{{cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/clinton/stories/clintondep031398.htm|title=President Clinton's Deposition in the Paula Jones Case|date=January 17, 1998|newspaper=Washington Post|access-date=June 25, 2009}}</ref><ref name="king">{{cite news |url=http://edition.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/1998/03/05/clinton.deposition|title=New Details Of Clinton's Jones Deposition Leaked|last=King|first=John|date=May 3, 1998|publisher=CNN|access-date=June 25, 2009}}</ref><ref name="hentoff">{{cite news|title=Above the law; Bill Clinton gets away with perjury (editorial)|last=Hentoff|first=Nat|date=January 29, 2001|work=[[The Washington Times]]|publisher=The Washington Times LLC}}</ref> The judge ordered that Clinton be given an opportunity to review the agreed definition.
