• Came to an understanding with Lewinsky that they would lie under oath in the Jones case about their relationship.
• Tried to obstruct justice by suggesting that Lewinsky file an affidavit so that "she would not be deposed, she would not contradict his testimony and he could attempt to avoid questions about Lewinsky at the deposition."

• Tried to obstruct justice by refusing to testify for seven months while simultaneously lying to potential grand jury witnesses, knowing they would relay the falsehoods to the grand jury.
