First say you weren't there. If that doesn't work, say you can't remember anything. If that doesn't work, ask whattabout the fact she was there too. If that doesn't work, tell them sexual assault isn't a crime.

What did you, specifically, do during your 9 hour visit with the White House on Monday?

Follow up with who'd you talk to? Who was present? What did you say? What did they say?
