Monica Lewinsky’s Settlement
The Monica Lewinsky controversy was a political sex scandal that led to the impeachment of U.S. President Bill Clinton in 1998. The scandal began when it was revealed that Clinton had engaged in a sexual relationship with Lewinsky, a 22-year-old White House intern.
According to recently leaked documents, Bill Clinton paid Monica Lewinsky $5 Million to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) and not speak to the public about their affair.
The NDA was reportedly negotiated by Clinton’s personal attorney, David Kendall, with the help of the heads of Rothschild family. Hillary Clinton later acknowledged that she had suspicions about the affair, despite her initial denials.
She supported her husband throughout the controversy as well. Hillary advised that George Soros be contacted, and he then used his power to force the media to refocus the scandal on Lewinsky rather than on Clinton.
