Eventually in January of 1998, the nation discovered the news of Monica Lewinsky and Bill Clinton’s affair and the media magnified

The film The War Room is a documentary about Bill Clinton that has very little to do with Bill Clinton himself. The primary focus of the film is devoted to the team of campaign strategists that got Clinton to the presidency. The two main players the film focuses on are James Carville--the Lead Strategist for the Clinton campaign and George Stephanopoulos the Communications Director. The film follows them and their team of campaign strategists and experts as they try to get Arkansas Governor, Bill Clinton, to the presidency. The documentary highlights many key moments in Clinton’s campaign, for example the Gennifer Flowers scandal. However, the film showcases what was happening behind closed doors in the War Room, where Clinton’s

This trial took place in 1999. Before Clinton was ever elected as president he had an encounter with a women by the name of Paula Jones. Paula Jones would come out about the encounter after Clinton was elected to presidency. In July of 1995, women by the name of Monica Lewinsky would be hired as an intern for Clinton. Months later they would begin having sexual relations. Mr. Kenneth Starr was put in charge of the investigation of Clinton and Lewinsky’s relationship. Clinton denies the fact that he had sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky at all times. In October 1998, the House would vote to have an impeachment trial and would win with a vote of 258 to 176.

President Bill Clinton began an affair with Monica Lewinsky, a White House intern, in 1995. Later in 1998, when confronted with questions in regards to an affair with Monica Lewinsky, Clinton lied under oath in front of a grand jury. This, however, was not his first lapse in judgment as viewed by the Senate and Congress. The President and his wife, Hillary, found themselves involved in the Whitewater scandal beginning in 1978. In addition, during his campaign, Clinton was accused of draft dodging and rumors were spread in regards to his possible marriage infidelity. President Bill Clinton continued to find himself caught in the middle of scandals involving: Whitewater, Paula Jones, and most notably, Monica Lewinsky. The way Clinton handled

The worries did not stop at the Jones case though. In 1995, Clinton allegedly started to have an affair with one of his interns, Monica Lewinsky who was 21 years old at the time. No one

The reason why he faced impeachment is because in November 1995, Clinton began an affair with Monica Lewinsky, she was a 21 year old unpaid intern. In April 1996, Lewinsky was transferred to the Pentagon. In the summer, Monica confided in Pentagon co-worker Linda Tripp about her relationship with the president. In 1997, the relationship was over, Linda began to secretly record conversations with Lewinsky, so she would get details about the affair. In December, lawyers for Paula Jones brought Monica. In January 1998, allegedly under the recommendation of the president, Monica denied having a relationship with the president. Five days later, Linda contacted the office of Kenneth Starr, the Whitewater counsel, to talk about Monica and the tapes she made of their conversations. Linda, who was wired by FBI agents, met with Monica again and Monica was taken by FBI agents and U.S. attorneys to a hotel room where she was questioned and was offered immunity if she cooperated. Few days later, the story was out and Clinton denied the allegations saying, “I did not have a relationship with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky.” Clinton spoke a live television to a grand jury in a nearby federal courthouse. He was the first sitting president to testify before a grand jury investigating his conduct. Clinton gave a four minute televised address to the nation which he admitted he had a relationship with Lewinsky. On December 11th, the House Judiciary Committee

One of the things Clinton is most famous for, but not the proudest of, is his affairs. The issue of Clinton having an affair with Monica Lewinsky is purely personal. It should have been discussed within his family and in his family alone. Many people seem to forget that Presidents before him have done the exact same thing. John F Kennedy is probably the best known with his affairs. This doesn't diminish the fact that Clinton took it one step farther and lied about the affairs.

Some presidents are remembered for their successes and some are remembered for their scandals. William Jefferson Clinton was a president that is known for his biggest affairs with Monica Lewinsky (John Harris). In 1999 Juanita Broaddrick accused 42nd president William Jay Clinton of sexual assault. He was also accused of pardoning his brothers criminal record (Kaizen). Clinton was a president with many success but most of success were overshadowed by his scandalous behaviors.

In the 1980’s, the United States was in a recession. Clinton’s presidency helped America get out of the red and was finally out of debt. During this time, crime rates rose as well as poverty and unemployment. Bill Clinton was elected in 1992 as a Democrat, and ran again in 1996 to be re-elected. Clinton’s Presidency consisted of many improvements within the nation, but also the collapse of his reputation. Throughout his presidency, Clinton was charged with perjury and obstruction of justice due to an affair with Monica Lewinsky. Although Clinton was a member of the Democratic Party, he worked with the Congressional Republicans throughout his presidency, in order to unite the two parties while he was in office. Both Clinton and the Republican

The United States' 42nd president, Bill Clinton, became notorious after his scandal with his secretary, Monica S. Lewinsky. He was asked on multiple occasions about this affair, but he lied, stating he did not have a intimate relationship with Lewinsky. However, he eventually confessed in an interview about the affair. Clinton displayed disloyalty to his wife, but he also led people to question his loyalty to the country because of his deceit. According to Michael Isikoff, “...That’s when I knew this was an earthquake. Washington was about to explode…”(“Politico”). Loyalty is an issue that is tested and questioned numerous times throughout history, and it is also a common theme in books and movies.The Odyssey is an acclaimed story that displays

It was a sexual harassment case in 1994, by Paula Jones, a former Arkansas employee, in which the origins of Bill Clinton’s impeachment start. Ms. Jones made accusations that President Clinton had infringed some of her federal civil rights while she was an employee at Arkansas state while Clinton was the then governor of Arkansas. As per the allegations, President Clinton had

Everything was going great until the media found out about a secret affair between the president and white house intern Monica Lewinsky. Once this story hit newsstands across the nation the president was the only name people were talking about. It has been heard of before about former president John F. Kennedy with celebrity actress Marylin Monroe, but the nation found out about it after his death, so Americans didn’t take it to heart so severely as they did with Clinton. Because of this incident he was looked at more thoroughly by all government officials, so he was taken to court on accounts of perjury and obstruction of justice for that same incident with Monica

In January of 1998, Monica Lewinsky filed a sworn affidavit denying sexual relations between the president and her. She also allegedly asked Linda Tripp to lie for her. Tripp wore a wire and recorded conversations between the two. Clinton then denied that the two had a relationship repeatedly and several of his aides were questioned in court as well as several of his personal bodyguards. Next, Lewinsky was given immunity in exchange for the completely true testimony. Soon afterward Clinton admitted to having an inappropriate relationship with Lewinsky and the Starr report was released. Clinton

Yet, the most intriguing and surprising aspect of the scandal was not that Bill Clinton would ever cheat on his wife or that his administration would survive such a terrible scandal. Nor was it a revelation that the media would be zealously intrigued by a sex scandal involving the President. The one aspect of the Lewinksy Scandal that was truly
