More than 11 years after their affair rocked America, former White House intern Monica Lewinsky has claimed the then US President Bill Clinton lied under oath when he described their romantic encounters during his impeachment trial, according to a new book. In an email to law professor Ken Gormley, who penned 'The Death of American Virtue', Lewinsky has made it clear she believes President Clinton had lied about their liaison during his testimony to the grand jury.
"There was no leeway (there) on the veracity of his statements because they asked him detailed and specific questions to which he answered untruthfully," she wrote.
The 769-page book, due to be out in February, also asserts that President Clinton had a long-running extramarital affair with Susan McDougal, one of the few people who served prison time because of the Whitewater investigation.
Though Gormley offers no concrete evidence of the affair, he told leading portal 'Politico.com': "I feel very, very comfortable with that conclusion after having conducted extensive interviews and seen documents that weren't generally accessible to the public."
