The Clinton Affair
State of the Union
S1 E5:
The president is taken by surprise during his deposition in the Paula Jones case as her lawyers reveal their detailed knowledge of his relationship with Lewinsky. Those details slowly leak and then flood the mainstream media. The president issues a stern denial, and a war over the truth is waged. Independent Counsel Ken Starr sends the Republican-led House his referral outlining the grounds for impeachment. House Republicans vote to release the "Starr Report" ahead of the mid-term election. A group of conservative lawyers are revealed to have been working behind the scenes to bring down the President. After losing seats, House Republicans vote to impeach the president, but his ultimate fate lies with the Senate. Juanita Broaddrick's allegation of rape against Clinton that briefly took center stage during his presidency comes into focus again amid Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential run, and take on new meaning following the #MeToo movement.
