Select the correct answer.
Highlight the sentence in which President Clinton admits to the public the truth about the Lewinsky scandal in this address that was broadcast
on national TV.
This afternoon, In this room, from this chair, I testified before the Office of Independent Counsel and the grand jury. I answered their questions
truthfully, including questions about my private life, questions no American citizen would ever want to answer.
Still, I must take complete responsibility for all my actions, both public and private. And that is why I am speaking to you tonight.
As you know, in a deposition in January, I was asked questions about my relationship with Monica Lewinsky. While my answers were legally
accurate, I did not volunteer Information. Indeed, I did have a relationship with Ms. Lewinsky that was not appropriate. In fact, it was wrong. It
constituted a critical lapse in judgment and a personal failure on my part for which I am solely and completely responsible.
But I told the grand jury today, and I say to you now, that at no time did I ask anyone to lie, to hide or destroy evidence, or to take any other
unlawful action
