Hillary clinton and monica

Skip navigation! Story from News. Hulu's hotly-anticipated documentary about Hillary Clinton debuts on the streaming service Friday, and it's a very deep and personal look at a woman who helped shape American politics. Hillary features stories about everything from the former Secretary of State's childhood, her marriage and family, and her heartbreaking loss during the election. Needless to say, the docuseries covers a lot of ground — and it includes interviews from everyone close to the former First Lady. Not only was Clinton interviewed in a very raw look at her life, Hillary also features interviews with people like President Barack Obama and, of course, President Bill Clinton.

Clinton stood by her husband after he was impeached in late for lying about his affair with Lewinsky. After a monthlong trial, the Senate in February ultimately fell well short of the two-thirds majority needed to convict and remove him from office. Lewinsky has said in the past that her affair with Bill Clinton was consensual, but has reconsidered that view recently. Several other women have accused him of sexual misconduct going as far back as the s, which he has vehemently denied. Several women have accused Bill Clinton of sexual assault , including Juanita Broadderick, who has alleged he raped her in a hotel room in when he was Arkansas attorney general. Much as Trump has done, Bill Clinton has had a history of dismissing the allegations as lies.

The eye-opening and compelling series also examines how Clinton has become one of the most polarizing personalities in the country. It also speaks to our history of partisan politics and where we are today. After spending years trying to make the documentary, the time was finally right for Clinton, who agreed to sit down with Burstein. She was not in office or running for office, and could now speak intimately without having to worry about political blowback, the filmmaker says. The end result is a surprisingly emotional and frank reflection on what happened behind closed doors as Clinton faced the most damaging and toughest moment in her marriage and career.

Clinton is right to say Trump should be investigated for sexual misconduct, but this does not excuse her husband. Now it is Monica Lewinsky who is emerging with class. She lived with his many infidelities, often dismissing the kinds of women he went for as trashy and insignificant. Indeed, when his affair with Monica Lewinsky was finally revealed, she, too, was scorned, not just by Hillary, who was lied to by her husband, and lied for him, but by many other prominent feminists.
