CLINTON PART OF "RIGHT WING"CONSPIRACY!!!! Clinton Admits Sex With Gennifer Flowers WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Clinton admitted in a sworn statement made public Friday that he had sexual relations with former cabaret singer Gennifer Flowers but denied making advances to several other women. According to a copy of the Jan. 17 deposition in the Paula Jones sexual harassment suit released as part of a court filing, Clinton for the first time admitted that he had sex with Flowers on one occasion in 1977. In a sworn statement by Flowers also released with the court filing, she repeated her allegation that they had a 12-year relationship that began shortly after they met in Arkansas in 1977, when she was a local television reporter. Large sections of Clinton's deposition were contained in some 700 pages of documents given to reporters by Jones' lawyers. Clinton denied sexually harassing Jones or making advances to several other women. But when Jones' lawyer asked Clinton: "Did you ever have sexual relations with Gennifer Flowers?", he replied: "Yes." Asked how many times, Clinton said once, in 1977. Flowers nearly ruined Clinton's 1992 presidential bid by going public with her allegation of a long affair. Clinton denied it at the time, although he admitted "causing pain" in his marriage, but refused to respond when asked whether he had ever committed adultery. He said then: "I have said things to you tonight and to the American people from the beginning that no American politician ever has. I think most Americans who are watching this tonight, they'll know what we're saying, they'll get it, and they'll feel that we have been more than candid. And I think what the press has to decide is, are we going to engage in a game of gotcha?" In her statement, dated March 12, Flowers alleged that Clinton urged her to lie about the relationship. "On several occasions, I discussed with Bill Clinton the subject of inquiries by the media about our relationship. He told me to continue to deny our relationship," she said. In her deposition before Jones's lawyers on Nov. 14, 1997, a copy of which was released, she said she first met Clinton in 1977 when he was attorney-general of Arkansas and that they had "an ongoing relationship for many years". That included a period when he was state governor. She said the sexual relationship continued sporadically when she left Arkansas and lived in a number of different cities as a cabaret singer in the early 1980s and resumed more seriously after she returned to Arkansas to live in 1984 or 1985. Clinton, in his deposition, denied having any sexual relations with Flowers after she came back to Arkansas, but he said he did run into her once at her apartment block when he went to see a friend who lived there too. Flowers said Clinton helped her get a job with the state but when her qualification for the post was questioned by a rival, she called Clinton to ask what to do. "He told me to deny that we had ever had an affair," she said in the statement. She said Clinton also told her to say she had learned of the job through a newspaper advertisement.
