Former President Bill Clinton accused NBC reporter Craig Melvin of only giving one side of the facts when he asked questions about Clinton’s handling of the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
“You are giving one side and omitting facts,” Clinton told Melvin during the interview, which aired Monday on “Today.”
Melvin asked Clinton if he ever apologized to Lewinsky, which led Clinton to become defensive and talk about how he paid a steep cost for his actions. Clinton and Lewinsky, then a White House intern 27 years his junior, had a series of sexual encounters between 1995 and 1997, culminating in a political scandal that rocked the country.
Clinton ultimately admitted to having a relationship with Lewinsky that was “not appropriate.” His testimony about their relationship before a grand jury later led to his 1998 impeachment for perjury and obstruction of justice.
