MEGYN KELLY (HOST): The last thing, Gary, and this isn't me impugning you, I just want to raise the allegations that have been made.

GARY BYRNE: Sure, sure. No, that's fine.

KELLY: -- But Buzzfeed is reporting that your story in the book -- you claim in the book that you saw lipstick and President Clinton's semen on towels, that were brought to you by a steward.

BYRNE: Right.

KELLY: You claimed in your book that you removed the towels from the White House grounds, and you disposed of them --

BYRNE: I did, I put them in a plastic bag.

KELLY: -- But Buzzfeed first report -- Buzzfeed reports that under oath, you testified during the Ken Starr investigation in the Monica Lewinsky case.

BYRNE: That's right.

KELLY: And there, you said the steward just showed you the towels, said something about lipstick, and you testified you didn't see any of the stains, and that the steward kept them, and you don't know what he did with them. That's what you said under oath, and that was the end of it.

BYRNE: Right.

KELLY: So, two different stories. How do you explain the discrepancy?

BYRNE: Well, it's very simple, Megyn, there were different incidents. At one time, they were talking tissues, and another time they were talking about towels. Now as you well know as a lawyer, it's not my job to steer the investigation. If that's what they were locked onto -- You have to put yourself in my position. At the time, we had many rules, we couldn't just go in and tell them the truth. Anything involving the president, we couldn't talk about, and rules changed weekly. And the truth is, the only reason these Uniform Dvision officers like myself were being compelled to testify, and -- was because the Secret Service basically forced, pushed us forward so the executives of the Secret Service who knew everything that Judge Starr wanted, wouldn't have to testify themselves.

KELLY: I got it, I understand.

BYRNE: So, that's the only reason I was ever involved in it, Bill Clinton's bad behavior, and then because of the Secret Service pushing us forward. Everything in my book, Megyn, is true. That's my life.
