[ applause ] >> i think from the very beginning the people who knew him the best f they were honest with themselves, knew something had happened. >> why do you think that in the face of the president's very strong denial a lot of americans still apparently don't believe it? >> probably because many of you apparently don't. >> this theme that the press and mr. clinton's political enemies are responsible for any problems of credibility is now being pressed vigorously by some of the president's aides and friends. >> the great story here for

anybody willing to find it and write about it and explain it is this vast right wing conspiracy that has been conspiring against my husband since the day he announced for president. >> so when people say there is a lot of smoke here, your mess sedgwick a where there's smoke? >> there isn't any fire. >> hillary clinton was half right. it wasn't a vast conspiracy, there was a small conspiracy. there were some republican activist ands lawyers who did plug into the lewinsky scandal, helped feed it to news leak and to the special prosecutor. they were republicans conspiring together. maybe it wasn't the vast conspiracy hillary talked about, but it was a conspiracy. >> the law is the law. the law is sacred. the facts have integrity and we're going to go about our job. thanks very much. >> this is not something we ever thought we would see, the end ending up in that kind of battle. you couldn't take your eyes off it.

relationship with ms. lewinsky that was not appropriate. in fact, it was wrong. it constituted a critical lapse in judgment and a personal failure on my part for which i am solely and completely responsible. i misled people, including even my wife. i deeply regret that. >> that's where the '90s took us. the president of the united states had to testify under oath about a woman in the oval office. this would have been inconceivable in the time of john f. kennedy, but the '90s weren't the '60s. >> president clinton's mea copa sparked a lot of reaction from people who watched his speech from new york. >> i still like him as the president. >> to california. >> he should have laid more of his cards on the table. >> there was skepticism in houston. >> what else has he lied about? >> and cynicism in minneapolis. >> if hillary doesn't mind it

tonight the independent counsel's report has been delivered to the congress. the possibility of impeaching the president must now be addressed. >> bob schieffer has his hands on the report now. bob? >> i've got it, dan. we just got it here and i'm going to skip some of the top -- >> starr produces this very lengthy report with all the minutiae of their sexual interaction. >> i'm going to read part of the heading under physical evidence for you. >> if i may, we want to be careful here. this is daytime television and there are children in the audience, so i do encourage you to paraphrase. >> okay. i'll do my best. >> while the president was on the telephone, according to her, let me just read this to make sure we don't -- >> i remember reading it on an airplane, and it was like reading the raceest novel i had

read in my life. it was too hot to handle. >> she raised her dress and showed him her revealing underwear. >> he unzipped his pants and exposed himself and they had sex of a kind. again, estopped her before, i would say, it was completed i guess is the way to put that. >> there was something icky about pursuing this. there was no dignity here from anybody. >> prosecutors emphasized the real issue here is not sex, but the president subverting the legal system by getting others to lie and obstructing justice. >> the evidence suggests that the president repeatedly tried to thwart the legal process in the jones matter. >> the constitution says that a president can be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, but the constitution does not define what those terms mean so they're up to congress to define. >> i do not think that unless these misconduct raises the level of an assault on our fundamental political system

that they are impeachable. even if every one of them is true, this was not an impeachable offense. it's very painful, it is embarrassing. it has nothing to do with the running of the government. >> there were a number of republicans who knew that this was all nonsense, but they were going to go along because they were being forced by the party. >> history unfolding in the nation's capital today as a somber house of representatives voted for only the second time in american history to impeach a president of the united states. >> after a lifetime of striving for a celebrated rank among american presidents, this diligent student of history was handed his place today, one he did not want, but can never give back. >> i want the american people to know today that i am still committed to working with people of good faith and good will of both parties to do what's best for our country. it's what i've tried to do for six years. it's what i intend to do for two more until the last hour of the

last day of my term. [ applause ] >> it was up to the house to decide whether there was grounds to impeach the president, and then it is up to the senate to conduct the trial. and act as essentially the jury. >> the said william jefferson clinton here is acquitted of the charges in the said articles. >> the president of the united states found not guilty. >> clinton lied under oath. he did not challenge the constitutional system of the united states. so he's not removed from office. >> three out of four americans are saying, we know bill clinton is a scoundrel, and yet we think he's effective as president. >> the really amazing thing is how bill clinton bounced back from that. he just kept climbing in the polls. notch, notch, notch, notch shall notch. incredible. >> by the end of the 1990s, it looks like a different country for many americans. the economy is booming and our deficit is gone.

>> 1999 was the longest peace time economic expansion in u.s. history. >> clinton was one of the greatest politicians the white house has ever seen. he was a great leader in the sense of being a charismatic, well intentioned visionary president, but he undermined himself with his personal foibles. >> as mr. clinton moves into his final year in office, he's already sharing the spotlight with the candidacies of his wife and vice-president. >> it's one of the tragedies of the clinton years, that this period of real prosperity and real peace leads to a more polarized america. bill clinton leaves the country more divided than he found it. >> he came with these enormous expectations, the expectations of the generation behind him and although he had some big achievements, he also had enormous set backs. the cycle of the achievement and set back came to define his presidency. >> we know the sun will always

rise on america as long as each new generation lights the fire of freedom. our children are ready. >> the thing about bill clinton is he never stopped trying to find a sliver of ground on which you could build agreement and move the country forward. and i think that brand of politics, you know, in spite of clinton's flaws, in spite of the things, you know, we all wish he'd done differently or not at all, gosh, the country could use that. >> al gore surprised no one when he declared his candidacy in june. on the gop side 1999 belonged to the man with the money, texas governor george w. bush. pat buchanan left his republican home for the reformed party when none other than donald trump is threatening be to challenge him for the nomination. and the story that rivalled the

presidential race. >> so, the answer is yes, i intend -- >> hillary clinton made her senate campaign official, facing off with new york mayor rudy giuliani. at 4:00 a.m. on the east coast we're following the breaking news out of thailand, the rescue effort under way to extract 12 boys and the their coach from a cave system trapped there now for two weeks. i'm george howell at cnn headquarters here in atlanta. a local governor calls this "d" day, a high risk operation that kicked off just a few hours ago, and right now thai and international divers are racing against the clock. they're trying to beat the weather there with more rain clouds moving in and the dropping oxygen level
