TESTING OF A PRESIDENT: THE REACTION; SCATHING AND SAD, DEMOCRATS REACT TO CLINTON SPEECH (Published 1998).
Prominent Democrats around the country, including some of President Clinton's most loyal supporters, starkly distanced themselves from the President today and expressed deep personal disappointment with his behavior, as well as political anxiety about the future.
Among the sharpest remarks were those of Senator Dianne Feinstein of California, a longtime ally of Mr. Clinton who was described as even more angry than her statement reflected. ''I was present in the Roosevelt Room in January when the President categorically denied any sexual involvement with Monica Lewinsky,'' she said. ''I believed him. His remarks last evening leave me with a deep sense of sadness in that my trust in his credibility has been badly shattered.''
