The intern, whose relationship cost President Bill Clinton "impeachment", vents in a documentary that is broadcast this Sunday

Monica Lewinsky sees an "improper abuse of authority" in her relationship with Clinton

Monica Lewinsky will always be linked to President Bill Clinton. Wherever she goes she often hovers the question about the Democratic president. What really happened? Who started? Did he love him? How was he with her? She sometimes gets up indignant from interviews. Instead, she answers others when it occurs under her conditions. And then, as in this case, a project that she has been working on for a year generates controversy, empathy, or at least draws the public's attention. As has happened now when he has just published an essay in Vanity Fair magazine in which he explains his decision to participate in the documentary, The Clinton Affair, which will be broadcast on Sunday at nine at night, prime time in the United States, on the A&E channel. A project in which she offers her impressions of the scandal, made up of a series of events that celebrate her 20th anniversary this year. Specifically, next month is the month of the investigation by the House of Representatives, which acts as prosecutor in the "impeachment" processes (motions of censure).

For now, in her essay in the prestigious Conde Nast magazine, Lewinsky admits that she "want to apologize to Hillary Clinton" for all the damage caused. Meanwhile, she seems to be saving the darts for President Bill Clinton, whom she has admitted to having a crush on in the past.

"In June of this year, during an interview on NBC, (the journalist) Craig Melvin asked him certain questions. Did he owe me an apology? Bill's outrageous response was: 'No,'" Lewinsky recounts in the Vanity Fair text. , where he has already addressed this scandal on different occasions.

"He maintained that he had already apologized publicly in 1998. So did I. My first public words after the scandal - delivered in an interview with Barbara Walters on March 3, 1999 - were a direct apology to Chelsea and Mrs. Clinton. If I saw Hillary Clinton in person today, I know I would gather the strength I needed again to honestly admit how sorry I am to her," says Lewinsky, who believes she was the first person to be harassed by the media. on a large scale, today a matter of debate due to the abuses that are carried out through social networks.

"The most important thing to me, more than whether I'm owed an apology or deserve a personal apology, is that I think Bill Clinton should want to apologize. He has disappointed me less than I have disappointed him. He would be a better man." , emphasizes Lewinsky, whose name will always be linked to the "White House intern" after the Clinton scandal.

I want the public to see my email. I asked State to release them. They said they will review them for release as soon as possible.

"In 2004, when promoting his biography My Life, Bill Clinton gave an extensive interview to Dan Rather. Rather asked Clinton why he had had an inappropriate relationship with me. (...). His reason: 'Because he could'", he addresses Lewinsky hurt by the words, which retaliates with the same words in the magazine, in this way, then, indicates: "Why have I chosen to participate in this docuseries? One main reason: because he could", he repeats with a clear reference to Bill Clinton's response to Monica Lewinsky at the time, who from the beginning of the article responds to the president all the comments made about her during these years.

Still, in the documentary she acknowledges that at a White House birthday party for an employee, attended by the president, she let the edge of her underwear stick out for Clinton to see. "Instead of pulling up my pants, as on another occasion, I left it," Lewinsky acknowledges that she wanted the president to see her panties. "Nobody noticed in the room, except him," says the then Democratic leader.

"He was completely at his mercy", he does not hide in one of the documentary's interviews. "It's not like I didn't realize he was the president," she admits. "Obviously, it was clear. But, the truth is that it meant more to me than to the rest. He was 22 years old then," she recalls of the year of "affair" she had with the Democrat.

Oral sex or intercourse

In her new story the darts against Clinton start from the beginning. Lewinsky, who has joined the #MeToo movement against sexual harassment and abuse, stresses that remembering what happened was traumatic. But, she's also worth it if she helps another person not be labeled "that woman." A direct reference to when Bill Clinton assured in a press conference at the White House that "I want to say one thing to the American people: that I have not had sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky."

It was the dictionary that saved Clinton from the success of the impeachment. The Republicans designed a strategy based on proving that the then president of the United States had lied by denying under oath that he had had relations with Lewinsky. Then, his lawyers did not hesitate to use the dictionary to establish that what had taken place was "oral sex", which could not be interpreted as "sexual intercourse". Later, a regiment of Democratic reporters and analysts did not hesitate to defend the president, including journalist Gay Talese, who has always justified oral sex for Bill Clinton's generation as a mere show of affection.

Amidst all that turmoil, Lewinsky recalls in the documentary that will air on Sunday that "I thought the only way to end it all was to take my own life." Twenty years later her story is still valid, while she tries to recompose herself. Lewinsky, who has complained on other occasions that she can't find a job or a boyfriend, much less a husband, now insists on being part of the #MeToo movement. A wave that gained strength from the allegations of abuse and harassment in Hollywood against the almighty producer Harvey Weinstein. Still, it doesn't quite gel among this liberal elite, where everyone is acolyte of Hillary Clinton.
