- Gregory Craig, White House Special Counsel and former U.S. Director of Policy Planning, testifies before Congress explaining why the rules of impeachment should not apply to President Bill Clinton. Craig differentiates between the Criminal Justice System and the Impeachment Process and asserts that these two systems do not overlap. Craig also plays two videotapes, the first of which features James Fisher, attorney for Paula Jones, whom accused Clinton of sexual harassment, giving Clinton a piece of paper with the definition of "sexual relations" on it. Following the video, Craig explains that this definition did not include oral sex, and asserts that when Clinton testified he did not have sexual relations, he believed that he was telling the truth. The second video features Thomas Sullivan, former U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois under President Jimmy Carter, and former Lieutenant Governor of Virginia Richard Joseph Davis explaining that there is insufficient evidence to try Clinton for either perjury or obstruction of justice.
