Hillary: Bill Was Right to Not Resign After Monica Lewinsky Scandal

“Absolutely not,” the former first lady said.

Hillary Clinton, the former secretary of state and first lady, said on Sunday that her husband and former President Bill Clinton was right to not resign from office after the Monica Lewinsky scandal. She also dismissed claims that the incident represented an abuse of power, and said the country should instead be focused on President Donald Trump’s alleged sexual misconduct. “Where’s the investigation of the current incumbent against whom numerous allegations have been made and which he dismisses, denies, and ridicules?” Clinton told CBS News. Prominent Democrats, including Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), have argued that the former president should have resigned in the wake of the scandal.
