WASHINGTON, United States — Former US president Bill Clinton said he had not spoken to Monica Lewinsky since the revelation of their affair and that while he had apologized to her publicly he did not think a private apology was necessary at this point. In a testy interview with NBC’s “Today” show aired on Monday, the 71-year-old Clinton was also asked for his thoughts on the #MeToo movement. ADVERTISEMENTBut it’s his time in the Oval Office — specifically his affair with Lewinsky — that is drawing scrutiny. “I apologized to everybody in the world,” Clinton said when asked if he had apologized to Lewinsky for his affair with the then 22-year-old White House intern. “I have never talked to her.”Asked if he felt he should apologize privately to Lewinsky, Clinton said “No, I do not.”“But I did say publicly on more than one occasion that I was sorry,” he said.
