Clinton–Lewinsky revelations and presidential impeachment

The White House at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW was the central location in the late-1990s investigation of President Bill Clinton's relationship with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. Revelations and related testimony led the House of Representatives to impeach Clinton in December 1998 on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice; the Senate acquitted him in February 1999. The investigations and impeachment proceedings are widely regarded as a notable political and legal controversy centered on the presidency.
