New Clinton Docs Shed Light On Lewinsky Fallout
 |
| Former President Clinton with Monica Lewinsky |
The National Archives has released documents showing how the White House sought to defend President Bill Clinton against the political fallout from his affair with intern Monica Lewinsky.
The papers, released Friday in conjunction with Mr. Clinton's presidential library, include lists of talking points, questions prepared for media interviews and efforts to steer the president through impeachment proceedings sparked by the scandal.
Many records involving Lewinsky are redacted. Two emails that were not released, for example, included the subject line "Monica drinking game."
One email in 1996 showed White House aide Patty Thomason trying to firm up plans to transfer Lewinsky to a job at the Pentagon.
"We are working closely with DOD to make this happen for Monica," Thomason wrote. "We have not finalized the deal but are working toward that end."
Another document released Friday shed light on Lewinsky's job at the White House. In it, Lewinsky sent an official request to hang a picture of Clinton, signing a telecommunications bill, in a White House legislative affairs office.
After the scandal involving Lewinsky began gathering steam, several emails discussed how the White House should coordinate its pushback. One advises officials to emphasize that "a private mistake does not amount to an impeachable action."
About 10,000 pages of Clinton administration records were released Friday - the final release of a total of 30,000 documents made public - involving topics including Lewinsky, the Whitewater investigation and the death of Deputy White House Counsel Vincent Foster.

Olbermann Apologized To Clinton For MSNBC's 'Ceaseless' Lewinsky Coverage
NEW YORK -- Keith Olbermann once apologized to then-President Bill Clinton for his part in MSNBC's "ceaseless coverage" of the scandal over the president's affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.
An email describing Olbermann's Oct. 1998 apology, and a possible response from Clinton, appeared Friday in a batch of documents released by the National Archives and available through the Clinton Presidential Library.
It read that Olbermann, who was part of the upstart cable network's continuous coverage of the Lewinsky scandal, had apologized to Clinton for "whatever part I may have played in perpetuating this ceaseless coverage."
The email included what appears to be a response prepared for Clinton to give to Olbermann:
Dear Keith:
Thanks so much for your kind message. I’ve been touched by the many expressions of encouragement and support I have received from friends across the country.
I’m grateful you got in touch with me, and I send you my very best wishes.
Sincerely, POTUS.Read the full story: www.huffingtonpost.com

| Former President Bill Clinton |
Bill Clinton calls his sexual encounters with White House intern Monica Lewinsky “immoral and foolish” and said his “relationship” with Gennifer Flowers was one he “should not have had.” But in his autobiography flying out of bookstores, he doesn’t mention several other women whose names were linked in scandal with his.
Mr. Clinton denied conducting affairs with Miss Lewinsky and Miss Flowers when news of them first surfaced, but he writes in his 957-page autobiography, “My Life,” that now he is “deeply ashamed” of what he had done and lied about it because he was “trying to protect my family and myself from my selfish stupidity.”
The former president gives no details on his relationships with Miss Lewinsky — nothing about a blue dress or a cigar — or with Miss Flowers, other than to say that he wanted to “slug” reporter Steve Croft of the CBS-TV program “60 Minutes” when Mr. Croft pressed him about it in the “Stand by Her Man” Super Bowl interview.
He is less forthcoming about, or does not mention, other women who say they were either sexually involved with him, or that they had been sexually harassed or assaulted. These include:
- Dolly Kyle Browning, a real estate lawyer and Clinton high school classmate who said she had an off-and-on-again romance with Mr. Clinton for 30 years.
- Sally Perdue, a former Miss Arkansas who said she had a four-month affair with him in 1983.
- Connie Hamzy, a self-proclaimed rock-and-roll groupie, who said Mr. Clinton propositioned her in 1984 while she was sunbathing by a Little Rock hotel pool.
- Juanita Broaddrick, a gubernatorial campaign volunteer who said Mr. Clinton raped her during a nursing-home-operators convention in Little Rock in April 1978.
- Bobbie Ann Williams, a one-time Little Rock prostitute who said Mr. Clinton fathered a child by her when he was the governor of Arkansas.
- Eileen Wellstone, an English woman who said Mr. Clinton sexually assaulted her after she met him at a pub near Oxford University where Mr. Clinton was a student in 1969.
- Sandra Allen James, a former Washington, D.C., political fund-raiser who said Mr. Clinton invited her to his hotel room during a 1991 campaign trip, pinned her against the wall and put his hand under her dress.
