Dolly Kyle Browning One of Clinton's high school classmates, Browning, above, with their yearbook, says she had an affair with Clinton from the mid-1970s to 1992. During the 1992 campaign, she says, a staff member threatened to "destroy" her if she went public with the relationship. She mostly kept quiet until recently telling her story to Jones' lawyers

Gennifer Flowers The lounge singer and former television reporter contends that she had a 12-year sexual relationship with Clinton and that when he was Governor, his office helped her get a state job. According to Flowers, Clinton told her to lie about the affair and about how she obtained her job. In his deposition Clinton admitted to a single sexual encounter with Flowers in 1977
