Whitewater scandal

The Whitewater scandal involved Bill and Hillary Clinton’s investment in the Whitewater Development Corporation, a real estate project in the 1980s. Allegations arose that the Clintons engaged in unethical or illegal activities to cover up financial misdeeds and to benefit from their investments. It became entangled with broader concerns about political corruption and abuse of power, eventually leading to multiple investigations. While no direct criminal charges were proven against the Clintons related to Whitewater, the scandal contributed to public distrust and was a significant political issue during Clinton’s presidency.
