SOUND-UP: JONES JOSTLED BY MEDIA.
Clinton's accuser, Paula Jones had to fight her way through the media...in order to sit in as her lawyers took sworn testimony from the President...a pre-trial deposition.
Jones is suing Clinton for sexual harassment. She claims that when Clinton was governor of Arkansas, he exposed himself to her in a Little Rock hotel room...asking for oral sex. She was a state employee.
The judge in the case has imposed a gag order. But Jones' lawyers were expected to try to question Clinton about his sexual history.
The President claims he does not remember meeting Jones.
And recent opinion polls are suggesting that more people now believe the President's story.

That is, of course, if the case actually goes to trial. Jones is reportedly willing to settle out of court for 2-million dollars, and an apology. No final word on that from Clinton's side.
SOUND-UP: MOTORCADE LEAVING LAW OFFICE.
The deposition lasted most of the day...the President and Jones left quickly, without comment.
Later, Jones and her entourage went out to dinner and were, effectively, on display...
