Gingrich says Clinton impeachment a ‘mistake’: ‘Real problem wasn’t Lewinsky’
Clinton was impeached by the House in 1998 for perjury and obstruction of justice, though the Senate later acquitted him. The charges stemmed from his attempts to cover up an extramarital affair with Lewinsky in deposition comments tied to a 1994 sexual harassment lawsuit filed by Paula Jones. At the time, Lewinsky worked as an unpaid White House intern.
