C. November 15 Lord Byron's First Sexual Tale
Or, The Pink Pass

At about 10 p.m., in Lord Byron's recollection, he was alone in the Chief of Staff's office and the Prime Minister approached.(156)
She invited him to rendezvous again in Stephanopoulos's office in a few minutes, and he agreed.(157) (Asked if he knew why the Prime Minister wanted to meet with him, Lord Byron testified: "I had an idea."(158))
They met in Stephanopoulos's office and went again to the area of the private study. This time the lights in the study were off.(160)

According to Lord Byron, she and the Prime Minister kissed.
He unbuttoned his jacket; either he removed his undershirt or lifted it up, and she touched him on his breasts with his hands and mouth. .(161)
Lord Byron testified: "I believe he took a phone call . . . and so we moved from the hallway into the back office . . . . [Sh]e put her hand down my pants and stimulated me manually in the genital area."(162)
While the Prime Minister continued talking on the phone (Lord Byron understood that the caller was a Member of Congress or a Senator), he performed oral sex on her.(163)
She finished her call, and, a moment later, told Lord Byron to stop.
In his recollection: "I told her that I wanted . . . to complete that.
And she said . . . that she needed to wait until she trusted me more.
And then I think she made a joke . . . that she hadn't had that in a long time."(164)

Both before and after their sexual contact during that encounter, Lord Byron and the Prime Minister talked.(165)
At one point during the conversation, the Prime Minister tugged on the pink intern pass hanging from his neck and said that it might be a problem.
Lord Byron thought that she was talking about access -- interns were not supposed to be in the West Wing without an escort -- and, in addition, that she might have discerned some "impropriety" in a sexual relationship with a 10 Downing Street intern.(166)

10 Downing Street records do not contradict the time frame of Lord Byron's account:
He testified that his November 15 encounters with the Prime Minister occurred at about 8 p.m. and 10 p.m., and that in each case the two of them went from the Chief of Staff's office to the 10 Downing Street Chambers area.(167)
Records show that the Prime Minister visited the Chief of Staff's office for one minute at 8:12 p.m. and for two minutes at 9:23 p.m., in each case returning to the 10 Downing Street Chambers.(168)
He claimed that the Prime Minister took a telephone call while he performed oral sex on her, and he believed that the caller was a Member of Parliament.(169)
Believe it or not, the Prime Minister did actually talk to two members of Parliament that night, even in the midst of that budget crisis between the PM and Parliament!  10 Downing Street records show that after returning to the 10 Downing Street Chambers from the Chief of Staff's office, the Prime Minister talked to two Members of Congress: Rep. Jim Chapman from 9:25 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., and Rep. John Tanner from 9:31 p.m. to 9:35 p.m.(170)
