Monica Lewinsky, a former White House intern, said during an interview on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast Wednesday that the right thing for former President Bill Clinton to do when their affair went public would have been “to resign.”
“I think that the right way to handle a situation like that would have been to probably say it was nobody’s business and to resign,” Lewinsky told host Alex Cooper after revealing that she had never been asked about how the situation should have been handled. “Or to find a way of staying in office that was not lying and not throwing a young person who is just starting out in the world under the bus.”
Clinton admitted to having an affair with Lewinsky while he was president, which ultimately led to his impeachment in 1998.
“At the same time, I hear myself say that and it’s like ‘Okay, but we’re also talking about the most powerful office in the world,'” she said. “I don’t want to be naive either.”
Clinton, who helped campaign for former President Biden prior to him dropping out of the 2024 race, as well as for former Vice President Kamala Harris, recently released a memoir titled “Citizens,” which mentions Lewinsky.
“I live with it all the time,” Clinton wrote of the scandal, complimenting her work on bullying. “I wish her nothing but the best.”
