Washington - President Clinton does not have the "distinguishing characteristics" ascribed to him by a woman who claims in a sexual harassment lawsuit that he exposed himself to her, his lawyer has claimed. Mr Robert Bennett said the document in which Ms Paula Jones purportedly describes characteristics in Mr Clinton's genital area was an "absolutely baseless" attempt to embarrass him. Mr Bennett said he received a copy of the document last week, three years after Ms Jones referred to it in a news conference after she filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against Mr Clinton.
