How accurate was the latest episode of 'Impeachment: American Crime Story,' about Monica Lewinsky’s first intimate encounters with Bill Clinton?
Photo-Illustration: Tina Thorpe/FX The new FX limited series Impeachment: American Crime Story — the third in a true-crime anthology that started with The People v. O.J. Simpson and continued with The Assassination of Gianni Versace — covers the events leading up to Bill Clinton’s impeachment in December 1998, with a heavy emphasis on the fallout from his sexual relationship with Monica Lewinsky.
In the second episode, “The President Kissed Me,” the show flashes back to Lewinsky’s first intimate encounters with President Clinton during the 1995 government shutdown, when her internship landed her a job at the desk of Chief of Staff Leon Panetta. It also reveals the disappointing aftermath of Clinton’s re-election in 1996, when Lewinsky, devastated over a broken promise to return to the West Wing, divulges Clinton’s name to Tripp for the first time, confirming Tripp’s suspicions.
“Probably not. They have far fewer people working in the West Wing [because of the shutdown], so there’s a lot more opportunity to be alone. Also, while [Lewinsky] had her internship, she had gotten a full-time job [as a staff assistant for correspondence in the Office of Legislative Affairs, in the East Wing of the White House], but it hadn’t started yet. The fact that she was assigned to then–Chief of Staff Leon Panetta, to his office, put her in pretty close proximity.
