WASHINGTON. Aug 7: In six hours of testimony fraught with K" for Bill Clinton, Monica nsky told grand jurors her firsthand account of sexual encounters with the president inside the White House, a legal source said, reports AP.

The former White House intern testified truthfully, completely and honestly.' her spokeswoman declared afterward.

Monica and her family are relieved that this ordeal finally appears to be coming to an end,' family spokeswoman Judy Smith said yesterday at a news conference shortly after Lewinsky wrapped up her testimony.

Creating an indelible ac-

count that the president must confront before the same grand jury In 10 days, Lewinsky relayed the same story she told prosecutors over the past week, a legal source familiar with her testimony said.

That account includes that they had several sexual encounters inside the White House. Including in a study near the Oval Office, and discussed how they could conceal their relationship. But she says Clinton never instructed her to lie under oath, the source said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Reversing her own affidavit from earlier this year, Lewinsky's account stands in stark contrast to the president's

sworn testimony — and a televised statement — In January that he did not engage in sexual activity with Lewinsky.

The stakes couldn't be higher as prosecutors neared a decision on whether to send Congress an impeachment report that would Cite possible perjury and obstruction of justice.

Lewinsky. 25. testified for some six hours before the closed-door panel. She made no comment to reporters and looked pale and dazed as she departed around 5 pm (2100 GMT)

"Monica Lewinsky testified before the grand jury today, her spokeswoman Judy Smith said. "She answered each question

truthfully, completely and honestly that was posed to her by the Office of Independent Counsel and also questions that were posed to her by members of the grand jury.'

Earlier. CNN television — citing two unnamed sources — reported that Lewinsky had told the jury that she had a sexual relationship of a certain kind’ with Clinton.

The CNN sources told the network that Lewinsky testified about having more than a dozen sexual encounters with Clinton but that he did not ask her to lie.

"She told her story. There's nothing different from what

she’s been saying for the past six months." CNN quoted the source as saying.

Clinton went about his bust ness at the White House, hosting an anti-crime event In the Rose Garden and escaping reporters' questions about Lewinsky that were drowned out by the blare of a military band. His aides projected a business-as-usual air.

"His mood is great.” White House deputy press secretary Barry Toiv said.

Were hopeful that this means a four-year investigation that has cost upwards of 40 million dollar is finally coming to a conclusion." Toiv said, referring to Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr's investigation that started with the Whitewater land deal in Arkansas and expanded to questions of obstruction of justice inside the White House.
