Jones had filed a lawsuit against Clinton and it was during the discovery phase of the case that Lewinsky’s name was first mentioned as Jones’ attorneys sought to establish Clinton’s behavior which involved inappropriate sexual relationships with other government employees.
When news of the Clinton affair first broke, he denied it at a press conference, and Lewinsky spent the next few weeks hiding from the media. The former president would later admit to having an inappropriate relationship with Monica Lewinsky, who was working as a White House intern at the time.
According to Lewinsky, the affair that later took place in the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal took place between 1995 and 1997. She, however, said that what happened between her and the former Oval Office president was never right. beyond fellatio for Clinton, no other sexual act was committed, it never ended in intercourse.
