The President's Response--The AutoSummarized Version

The President has acknowledged a serious mistake--an inappropriate relationship with Monica Lewinsky. A relationship outside one's marriage is wrong - and the President admits that. 6. The President did not commit perjury. The President never testified that his relationship with Ms. Lewinsky was the same as with any other intern. 7. The President has admitted he had an improper sexual relationship with Ms. Lewinsky. The President never asked Ms. Lewinsky to get rid of the gifts and he never asked Ms. Currie to get them. We believe that Ms. Currie's testimony supports the President's.

The President never asked, directed or participated in any decision regarding the protective function privilege. Neither did any White House official. 15. The President did not abuse his power by permitting White House staff to comment on the investigation. The White House Counsel attorneys provided the President and White House officials with informed, candid advice on issues raised during this investigation that affected the President's official duties.
