The law says a superior can't give someone job preferences/rewards in exchange for sexual favors, while discriminating against those who turn down the superior's sexual advances. The Jones lawyers were trying to prove Clinton gave preferences to subordinates who had sex with him. He was asked about Monica. He lied. It is relevant and he will end up resigning from the presidency due to his coverup and obstruction of justice. This is a classic sex harassment case.

Now before you respond with another non sequitur, please give the above a little thought.

<<how does this in any way demonstrate that Clinton tried in any way to intimidate Paula Jones?>>

Anytime a low-level employee is called in to talk with a high-level employee, especially the head of the company (Clinton was Governor, Jones was a low-level government employee), there is a built-in intimidation factor. Jones' testimony included Clinton making reference to being friends with her boss, another not-too-subtle attempt at intimidation. Being brought into the royal presence by a state trooper might also be intimidating.

The difference in the two people's "power" is what results in the intimidation, not anything Clinton may have said or done.
