From History.com:
"After nearly 14 hours of debate, the House of Representatives approves two articles of impeachment against President Bill Clinton, charging him with lying under oath to a federal grand jury and obstructing justice."
From the New York Daily News, January 20, 2001:
"President Clinton escaped indictment yesterday by surrendering his Arkansas law license for five years and admitting that he made false statements under oath about his affair with Monica Lewinsky."
From the
Baltimore Sun, April 13, 1999:
"A federal judge in Arkansas found President Clinton in contempt of court yesterday for giving "intentionally false" testimony last year when he told Paula Corbin Jones' lawyers that he did not have "sexual relations" with Monica Lewinsky -- and could not even recall being alone with her."
The newspaper quotes presiding judge Susan Webber Wright as saying, "Simply put, the president's deposition testimony regarding whether he had ever been alone with Ms. Lewinsky was intentionally false, and his statements regarding whether he had ever engaged in sexual relations with Ms. Lewinsky likewise were intentionally false."
The judge in the case cited Bill Clinton's presidential duties in declining to hold him in criminal contempt.
From the Baltimore Sun:
Though her language was scathing, Wright claimed that she was showing restraint and deference to the president, specifically citing the crisis in Yugoslavia in saying she will be flexible if Clinton's lawyers decide to challenge the ruling.
She wrote that she had "fully considered" whether to hold Clinton in criminal contempt of court, but said such a severe finding could consume the president's time.
"Significant constitutional issues would arise were this court to impose sanctions against the president that impaired his decision-making or otherwise impaired him in the performance of his official duties," said Wright, who once was a law student of Clinton's at the University of Arkansas and was appointed to the bench by President George Bush.
So, no, Bill Clinton is not clean of the charge of perjury even if he wasn't convicted by the U.S. Senate.
Bill Clinton admitted to his crime at the end of his presidency.
From the New York Daily News:
As part of the deal, Clinton agreed to pay a $25,000 fine and gave up his right to ask the government to fund his enormous court costs.
"The nation's interests have been served and, therefore, I decline prosecution," [independent counsel Robert] Ray told reporters. "This matter is now concluded. May history and the American people judge that it has been concluded justly."
