Newspaper accounts have led Americans to believe that some irresponsible presidential aides made up the cruel story that Monica Lewinsky was stalking the President in the White House. The truth: that was Clinton's first cover story, which he told to all his closest aides. From the Starr Report: Later that day, the President summoned Sidney Blumenthal to the Oval Office. They spoke for about 30 minutes.(1116) The President said to Mr. Blumenthal, "I haven't done anything wrong."(1117) Mr. Blumenthal testified that the President told him, "Monica Lewinsky came on to me and made a sexual demand on me." The President said that he "rebuffed her."(1119) The President also told Mr. Blumenthal that Ms. Lewinsky had "threatened him. She said that she would tell people they'd had an affair, that she was known as the stalker among her peers, and that she hated it and if she had an affair or said she had an affair then she wouldn't be the stalker any more."(1120) Mr. Blumenthal then asked the President whether he and Ms. Lewinsky were alone when she threatened him. The President responded, "Well, I was within eyesight or earshot of someone."(1121) According to Mr. Blumenthal, the President complained: "I feel like a character in a novel. I feel like somebody who is surrounded by an oppressive force that is creating a lie about me and I can't get the truth out. I feel like the character in the novel Darkness at Noon." decentdesigns.com tom watson tosiwmee
