American White House intern who nearly ended a Presidency.

After graduating with a psychology degree in 1995, Lewinsky moved to Washington, D.C., where she worked at the White House as an unpaid summer intern starting in July 1995, moving to a paid position there in December 1995.

Between November 1995 and March 1997, Lewinsky had an intimate relationship with President Bill Clinton. She later testified that the relationship involved oral sexi n the Oval Officeand other sexual contact but that sexual intercourse did not occur.

Under oath, Clinton later denied having had "a sexual affair," "sexual relations," or "a sexual relationship" with her and on January 26, 1998 claimed "I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky" in an infamous nationally televised White House news conference.

Later on, when confronted by the evidence of a semen stain on Lewinsky’s blue dress, Clinton admitted that he lied to the American people and that he had had "inappropriate" intimate contact with Lewinsky. His defence was that he didn’t believe that “oral sex” was “sex” (in a legalistic sense) and that because certain acts were performed on him, not by him, he did not engage in sexual relations.
