Bill Clinton, of all people, made the questionable decision to release and promote a novel in the year of #MeToo, setting himself up for an interesting publicity tour. But, of course, he seems to be pretty confident everything is fine.
The former president grinned his way through a “Today” show interview with Craig Melvin, who engaged Clinton in a lengthy back-and-forth on his affair with Monica Lewinsky, though did not seem to ask about the allegations of nonconsensual misconduct against him. With an uncomfortably out-of-place air of self-satisfaction, Clinton repeatedly and defensively accused his detractors of omitting or fabricating the “facts” of his case, which seems a little less credible coming from a man who notoriously lied to the country about the most important fact of the case.
