The White House yesterday concluded its defense of President Clinton, asking the Senate to forgive the president for a “terrible moral lapse,” but to acquit him on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice.
Clinton’s defense provided a fascinating window into the world of power politics in Washington, D.C.
