Summary

Former President Bill Clinton has been questioned by lawmakers about his connections to Jeffrey Epstein, a disgraced financier who died in 2019. Clinton has denied any wrongdoing. This is not the first time Clinton’s truthfulness has been questioned, as allegations of sexual improprieties have followed him throughout his career. In 1998, Juanita Broaddrick accused Clinton of raping her in 1978, while Kathleen Willey and Gennifer Flowers also made allegations of sexual misconduct. Clinton has denied all of these allegations. In 1993, allegations surfaced that Clinton used state troopers to arrange sexual encounters with women, and in 1998, Paula Jones launched a sexual harassment lawsuit against Clinton. Clinton’s impeachment in 1998 was ultimately due to his affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.
