Congress did not ask this question....GOP investigators did not ask the question. During a sexual harassment lawsuit Clinton was asked under oath by a plaintiff's attorney if he had sexual relations with a subordinate.
Of course, the group behind the laswsuit had no bias at all.

Fair enough. Then he would have been the recipient of the "none of your business" statement.

Actually, they got involved because they wanted to use an irrelevancy -- a lie about a sexual relationship -- in order to oust a charismatic, popular President who was able to stymie their aims and even roll back their advances in the 1994 misterms. They knew Gore would be a much easier target because, well, Al Gore, and they would much have preferred the Wooden Titan in the Oval Office.
