Shortly after taking office in 1993, Clinton had been sued by a woman alleging sexual harassment during his tenure as Governor of Arkansas. Clinton had studiously avoided being called to testify in the civil case during his first term by gaining postponements. Upon re-election, a federal judge ordered the accuser could finally have her right to her day in court and the case should proceed.

Clinton had studiously avoided being called to testify in the civil case during his first term by gaining postponements. Upon re-election, a federal judge ordered the accuser could finally exercise her rights and have her day in court, and the case should proceed.
In testimony under oath, Clinton committed perjury. A special prosecutor, looking into a host of allegations regarding the Clinton's affairs dating back to Arkansas, was instructed to pursue the matter.
