The Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinsky saga reached its conclusion in Tuesday’s finale of Impeachment: American Crime Story — but no one really got a happy ending.
It’s September 1998, and Monica lands a book deal with the author who co-wrote Princess Diana’s tell-all. (She needs the money, since she still has a lot of legal bills to pay.) Kenneth Starr’s staff scrambles to get the final report ready, and suddenly, it’s being released, with boxes of the report dropped on the steps of Congress. It’s also released online at the same time, and people everywhere are...

Nine months after quitting Twitter, James Woods has returned to the social media platform to resume giving the insult comic treatment to his political enemies, starting with (who else?) New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. So fans of Twitter flame wars, your ship has just come in.
Woods announced he would leave Twitter in May 2019 after his account was temporarily locked because he tweeted “If you try to kill the King, you better not miss.’ #HangThemAll.” Woods told conservative news site Daily Wire at the time that “Twitter demanded that I rescind my tweet paraphrasing Emerson. It now seems they have chosen to delete that tweet from my account without my permission.” He vowed at the time that “As long as [Twitter founder] Jack Dorsey remains the coward he seems to be, my Twitter days are in the past.”
However, on Thursday night he told his 2 million followers that while he “tried so...

Alyssa Milano says that it was a mistake that sexual misconduct accusations against former president Bill Clinton in the 1990s were not investigated.
“I don’t think Bill Clinton should have gotten that benefit of the doubt, in hindsight,” said Milano Thursday during an appearance on “Cuomo Prime Time.” “I think that as a nation we were in a different time. I think that women were continually being silenced and I think we gave him the benefit of the doubt and we probably should have investigated the allegations against him as well.”
“Really?” said Cuomo with evident surprise.
“This is not about partisan politics to me. This is about humanity,” Milano continued. “Even though this process is so uncomfortable for everyone … it’s vital that we get past this.”

Twenty years after Bill Clinton became only the second president to be impeached, A&E is producing what strives to be the definitive examination of the investigation that consumed the national media and forever altered the lives of the principals involved. The Impeachment of Bill Clinton (working title) includes explosive never-before-seen footage of Clinton and Monica Lewinsky, whose life was turned upside down by special counsel Ken Starr’s investigation, as well as new interviews with Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey and Juanita Broaddrick, who alleged that Clinton raped her in 1978. The six-hour series from Alex Gibney’s Jigsaw Productions and ...
Before Monica Lewinsky, Bill Clinton denied (and then admitted) to having an affair with Gennifer Flowers. The singer came forward during the former president's 1992 election campaign and revealed she had a 12-year relationship with the married politician. Now, she is claiming that before their consensual affair, Clinton sexually harassed her. "When I first met Bill Clinton, it was when I was sent on my first story by myself after my training with my cameraman,” Gennifer explained on The Ingraham Angle. "He came on to me that night, I told him to knock it off. He proceeded to continue to come on to me for three months before I decided that I wanted to have a relationship with him, which at that point was consensual. But in today's standards, and in hindsight, it was definitely sexual harassment." Gennifer, who was 27 when her affair with Bill began, also called for "Slick Willie...

Fox News host Todd Starnes was none too pleased by Hillary Clinton’s cameo appearance at the Grammys Sunday night reading a passage from Michael Wolff’s Trump White House exposé “Fire and Fury.” Starnes, who hosts his own daily three-hour show on Fox News radio, said he would have rather had the former presidential candidate read the new book by Juanita Broaddrick, who has accused Bill Clinton of rape during his 1978 campaign to be governor of Arkansas. (The former president’s lawyer has repeatedly denied the allegation; no charges have been filed.) “It’s too bad Hillary did not read a few passages...

Now that his same-party competitors are out of the running, presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump has been training his fire on his likely opponent in the general election: Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton. But it's not just Hillary Trump has in his sights - it's her husband, too. After Trump accused former President Bill Clinton of rape in an interview with Fox News Wednesday night, decades-old allegations are back in the spotlight. The allegations concerning Bill's sexual conduct came from more than five different women, who all had a moment in the national media in the 1990s. Because Trump has made...
