Bill Clinton Reflects on Lewinsky Affair in Memoir

In his upcoming memoir 'Citizen', Bill Clinton reflects on his tumultuous legacy stemming from his affair with Monica Lewinsky, acknowledging that he has never directly apologized to her despite public statements of regret. Clinton recounts a 2018 NBC interview where he felt blindsided by questions related to the #MeToo movement and whether he would resign if the scandal occurred today. He insists that the impeachment was politically motivated, yet admits to being 'caught off guard' when pressed about his lack of a direct apology to Lewinsky. Clinton expresses admiration for Lewinsky's advocacy work, stating, 'Monica's done a lot of good and important work... I wish her nothing but the best.' He describes living with the scandal daily and notes that the interview was 'not my finest hour.' The memoir is set to be released on November 19, 2023.
