Lawyers say ruling clears path for Clinton past probe
Jones' lawyers say a judge's decision to delay a civil trial until President Clinton leaves office allows questioning under oath about alleged affairs. Judge Wright refused to dismiss, granting no absolute immunity for pre Presidency acts and permitting witness sworn statements during his term. Clinton's team plans an appeal while noting the delay aids executive duties.
