Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

President Clinton was impeached for both lying to a grand jury and obstructing justice. The charges stemmed from his denial of an extramarital affair with Monica Lewinsky and subsequent efforts to cover it up, including encouraging witnesses to testify falsely, attempting to hide evidence, and making false statements under oath. These actions were considered by the House of Representatives to be high crimes and misdemeanors, warranting impeachment.
