BILL CLINTON-MONICA LEWINSKY SCANDAL 20 YEARS ON: WHERE ARE ALL THE MAJOR FIGURES NOW?

Newsweek

It's been 20 years since the Drudge Report broke the Bill Clinton-Monica Lewinsky affair, which would mar Clinton's presidency and bring a House impeachment vote.

Multiple figures were involved in the scandal: Clinton, the president of the United States. Lewinsky, a 22-year-old unpaid intern whom Clinton initially claimed he "never had sexual relations" with. Linda Tripp, the civil servant who recorded the damning audiotapes. And so on.

In 1998, you probably couldn't go anywhere without hearing about the affair. And Lewinsky couldn't go anywhere without being berated by the paparazzi. 

So where are some of them now, two decades later?

Bill Clinton

Clinton avoided impeachment in 1999 after the Senate acquitted him of all charges, and he was succeeded by George W. Bush in 2001.

The former president is now involved in public speaking and humanitarian work, and is board chair of the Clinton Foundation, which addresses international causes such as AIDS prevention and global warming. The foundation has received some criticism for accepting donations from individuals and entities that had an interest in influencing U.S. policy a few years back.
