Yes, but he was lying about a purely sexual affair (it was on my list above); in meeting with the FBI about for his background check to become HUD Secretary he lied about how much money he'd given to a mistress.

There were allegations that the Clinton administration abused power at the IRS and other agencies in a cover up but the 10-year Independent Council investigation (ending in 2005, 6 years after Cisneros's guilty plea) never resulted in any indictments beyond Cisnero's initial plea about lying and his $10,000 fine.

It wasn't one of the shining examples of the Independent Council law.
