Bill Clinton's credibility threatened by decades of scandals amid grilling over Epstein ties
Law enforcement shouldn't be political.
While former President Bill Clinton has vigorously denied many of them, allegations of sexual improprieties have punctuated his career and repeatedly made questions about his character the focus of national attention.
His truthfulness is again back in the national spotlight after lawmakers on Friday questioned Clinton about his connections to Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier who died in 2019 while incarcerated on charges of sex trafficking minors.
Clinton has not been implicated in any wrongdoing.
Friday’s questioning, however, is just the most recent case of controversy that stretches back almost 30 years.

Juanita Broaddrick – 1998
Allegations against Clinton began in 1998 when Juanita Broaddrick accused Clinton of raping her when he was running for governor of Arkansas in 1978. In the years since, Broaddrick described attempts she believes the Clintons made to keep her from speaking about the incident.
"I was at a fundraiser, but [Hillary Clinton] caught me before I left, and she came up very friendly and said, ‘Bill and I are so appreciative of everything you do.’ And then her voice changed," Broaddrick recalled in an interview with Fox News in 2018.
"It frightened me."
By the time Broaddrick’s allegations became public, the statute of limitations protected Clinton from prosecution for the accusation.
Clinton has denied the claim.

"He sat down on the sofa. I proceeded to tell him what was going on, and I told him, ‘I need a job.’ He took my coffee cup from me and the next thing I knew he had me backed into a corner, hands all over me, trying to kiss me," Willey said, describing an altercation between the two that took place in a study just outside the Oval Office.
Willey first went public with her allegation in a CBS interview with "60 Minutes" in 1998. Clinton has repeatedly denied the allegation.
