Marriage after the Lewinsky affair
Hillary Clinton’s “Incredibly Difficult” Decision
09/28/2022, 12:02 PM
Hillary Clinton is deeply humiliated by her husband’s affair, which is publicly dissected in great detail. The politician now considers the decision not to divorce Bill Clinton, the unfaithful US president, as the bravest decision of her life.
Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spoke of bold decisions in a joint interview with her daughter Chelsea. “Personally, I have to say the bravest thing was to stay in my marriage,” Clinton told Bunte magazine. “It was a real challenge and incredibly difficult, but it was the right decision for me and I don’t regret it,” the 74-year-old said of her relationship with former US President Bill Clinton, to whom she has been married since 1975. . .

An extramarital affair with then-intern Monica Lewinsky, who tried to hide from the president, led to impeachment proceedings in 1998 on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice. The trial failed and Clinton remained in office until 2001.
Election campaign was “a great experience”
Clinton said her most daring professional decision was her own candidacy for president. “It was also very tough, but looking back it was a wonderful experience. I am very grateful that I was given the opportunity.” Hillary Clinton rose in 2016 to elect the successor to Barack Obama, in whose first cabinet she served as secretary of state for four years. Despite the higher number of votes, the Democrat lost to Donald Trump.
In the past year, Hillary Clinton has also become a novelist. Together with Canadian Louise Penny, she published the political thriller “State of Terror”. The focus of the plot is Ellen Adams, a former media entrepreneur who has just been named US Secretary of State and who is quickly identified as Clinton’s self-portrait.
Public headwind for Chelsea
Her 42-year-old daughter Chelsea Clinton said the bravest thing was to live her own life – “no matter how much opposition I get from the public”. She is the only child of Bill and Hillary, who met in 1971 and married four years later. And Chelsea has been married for a long time. In 2010, she tied the knot with her longtime boyfriend Marc Mezvinsky. The couple has three children together.
As a child, Chelsea was once forgotten by her Kremlin parents, as her mother told US talk show host Jimmy Fallon in early September: “There was a formal goodbye and Bill and I were escorted to the limousine to go to the airport,” said Hillary then. “Without knowing we left them. I mean, can you imagine leaving your only child in the Kremlin?” Hillary asked towards the audience. Fortunately for the Clintons, the US had better back then. relations with Russia than now.
