On December 16, 1998, the U.S. House of Representatives’
Committee on the Judiciary released a
265-page report
recommending the
impeachment of President Bill Clinton
for high crimes and misdemeanors.

The subsequent impeachment proceedings were the culmination
of a slew of specious scandals involving the president and first
lady
Hillary Clinton. The Clintons were suspected of arranging
improper real-estate deals, fundraising violations and cronyism
in involving the firing of
White House travel agents. Added to the
mix were stories of Clinton’s extra-marital affairs and a sexual harassment claim filed against him.
