Clinton-Lewinsky scandal

The Clinton-Lewinsky scandal involved President Bill Clinton’s inappropriate and consensual sexual relationship with Monica Lewinsky, a White House intern, in the late 1990s. When the affair came to light, Clinton initially denied it, leading to questions about honesty and transparency. The scandal gained widespread attention, resulting in Clinton's impeachment by the House of Representatives in 1998 on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice. He was ultimately acquitted by the Senate and completed his term. The incident highlighted issues of personal conduct and accountability at the highest political levels.
