The Clinton Affair

Democrats retake the White House and Bill Clinton calls for an independent council after the death of Vince Foster. As the investigation expands, President Clinton begins a relationship with Monica Lewinsky that threatens to undo his political career.

Republicans, led by Newt Gingrich, take control of the House for the first time in 40 years. President Clinton's flirtation with Monica leads to an intimate encounter, and the Supreme Court takes up Paula Jones' allegations against the president.

Monica Lewinsky shares details of her relationship with President Clinton to coworker Linda Tripp, who secretly records the conversations. The Supreme Court gives Paula Jones' lawsuit a green light, and her lawyers seek other women claiming harassment.

As President Clinton's deposition in the Paula Jones case nears, Linda Tripp contacts Ken Starr's team to tell them the President and Monica plan to lie under oath. Monica is detained by FBI agents and interrogated by prosecutors for nearly 12 hours.

Details of President Clinton and Monica's relationship leak to the mainstream media, and he issues a stern denial. Ken Starr sends the House his referral for impeachment, and after the House vote, his ultimate fate lies with the Senate.

House Republicans vote to release the "Starr Report," and its salacious details become fodder for the mainstream media. Juanita Broaddrick's allegation of rape against Bill Clinton comes into focus again during Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential run.
