Bill Clinton: “It depends on what the facts are. Yes, if people have never been accused of doing anything wrong, there's no evidence…”

“It depends on what the facts are. Yes, if people have never been accused of doing anything wrong, there's no evidence that they did anything wrong, they never agreed to plead guilty to any crime, they never agreed to do anything, and they got big bills just because Mr. D'Amato's committee called them three or four or five times, you bet, I would support legislation to pay their bills. But I think you have to be very careful about whose legal bills you reimburse for what purpose. You have to be very careful that you're not reimbursing the legal bills of people who admitted wrongdoing, I think, in this case or any other. But I think that there is a strong case to be made when these people--you know, I don't know how people defend themselves. The American people can't be sure that some people now don't plead guilty to crimes in the face of a special prosecutor because they can't afford to defend themselves. Teen Pregnancy Mr. Blitzer. Mr. President, let me switch gears a little bit. I think we've exhausted the subject for now, but I'm sure we'll get back to it at some point in subsequent interviews. A very interesting conversation I had this morning in Chicago on the way to the airport--an African-American cab driver from the inner city in Chicago knew I was about to interview you, and he said, ``You know, I have one question I'd like to ask the President.'' And I said, ``Go ahead, what is it?'' He said, ``You know, I dread every day--I have a 13-year-old daughter--I dread every day this conversation that I'm going to have with her. One day she's going to come home and say to me, `Daddy, I'm pregnant.' I know it's going to happen, and I don't know what to tell her if she tells me that. I know he has a daughter.'' If your daughter were to come home from school some day and say, ``Daddy, I'm pregnant,'' what would you do? What would you tell her?”
