Bill Clinton speaks of the treason scandal

Bill Clinton returned the treason scandal to Monica Lewinsky in a documentary that covers the life of the Clinton couple in the 1990s. The former US president says he feels “terribly bad” and wants to explain his report with Monica as a form of “managing anxiety”.

Asked why he had such a relationship, Clinton said he was one of the choices that resulted from the desire to cope with pressure, disappointment and fear. Its account was recorded in “Hilary”, a documentary that sums up the life of the former First Lady and the career of a democratic candidate for the White House in 2016, Hillary Clinton.

Sometimes we do things we shouldn't do. It was terrible what I did,” said Clinton.

His relationship with Monica, 22, then, was followed by the prosecution of the House of Representatives for abuse of power, but then the Senate acquitted the former president of the charges.

Monica Samile Lewinsky is an activist, a public figure, American designer, whose name swept the world after the scandal at the time she worked as an intern at the White House. Their secret relationship lasted about the years, 95-97, and was made public in 1998.

The name is Monica Lewinsky. Although many times I've been advised to change, I haven't. I fell in love with my boss, as would every 22-year-old. It happens! But my boss was the president of the United States. I have repented for many reasons. One of them is that many people got hurt. Within the night I was transformed by a completely private person into a publicly humiliated internet person. I was zero. I've been thinking about suicide. I became addicted to peanut butter and M&M candy, and the quickest thought was to die. ”, she said before a big audience about five years ago.

Monica has acknowledged that the relationship was approved by both sides, willingly entered into such a report, but has always insisted that any abuse came later when they tried to make sacrifices to protect his powerful position. Monica Lewinsky has often acknowledged that political scandal made it possible to build a career. She broke the silence after a gay student of Rutgers University, Tyler Clement, killed herself as a result of a public humiliation.

The Clinton-Lewinsky scandal has always been at the center of media attention, despite a lot of time. Hillary Clinton, when promoting her book “Hard Chooses”, in an interview for Diane Sawyer spoke publicly about her husband's relationship with Lewinsky:

I wish all the best. I hope she thinks about her future and builds a life in which she finds meaning and satisfaction”.

As for betrayal, in her memory book, “What happened”, Hillary wrote:

There were times when I was very uncertain whether our marriage would succeed. During those moments, I would ask myself questions that interested me: Do I still love him? Can I continue this marriage without losing myself without being destroyed by anger, resentment, or isolation?

In 2016, she talked about the scandal:

It was very difficult. It was painful. I had the support of my friends. I was always there. I was often visited, laughed, recommended books, took walks, and ate unhealthy food. I used to feel as if I were walking on a tight rope without a net. Now I'm tearing down all the walls I built around me. ”
