Monica Lewinsky: Bill Clinton affair not sexual assault, but was 'gross abuse of power'

Monica Lewinsky has said the affair that led to impeachment proceedings against former US president Bill Clinton was not sexual assault, but "constituted a gross abuse of power".

Ms Lewinsky wrote in Vanity Fair that she is "in awe of the sheer courage" of women who've been confronting "entrenched beliefs and institutions" in recent months.
