He lied, but recall there being a strong argument that it was not perjury


because it was not material to the proceeding. If Hooduh is being sued for unfair trade practices because he’s ripping off grandmas and selling them defective treadmills and he is asked “how tall are you” and answers “5 foot 11,” that is a lie but it’s not perjury.

Clinton was a closer call than that (and I don’t believe it was ever formally resolved by a court) but still not likely material under the applicable legal standards, and Starr and company made some pretty tortured arguments that it was which were rebutted effectively
