Three intertwined
scandals have plagued Bill Clinton's presidency, leading ultimately to
the impeachment trial:
The Whitewater land deal, made before the Clintons went to Washington,
led to the appointment of a special prosecutor during his first
term. Paula Jones ignited a furor when she charged the President
with sexual harassment in 1994 for allegedly propositioning her
while he was governor of Arkansas. And Linda Tripp's tapes of
her conversations with alleged Clinton paramour Monica Lewinsky
added fuel to the fire when they became public.
