Clinton's appeal fails with Lewinsky
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.FACING MORE than $10m (pounds 6.5m) in legal bills, President Bill Clinton has been knocking on a lot of doors to pay the costs of last year's sex- and-perjury scandal. But his fund-raisers have knocked on one door too many - that of Dr Bernard S Lewinsky, Monica's father.
Before returning the envelope to the President's Legal Expense Trust unopened, Dr Lewinsky wrote on it: "Return to Sender - You must be morons to send me this letter!"
One radio show described it as "the most idiotic piece of junk mail in history". Dr Lewinsky, a Beverly Hills oncologist, evidently got on to the mailing list because he is a registered Democrat. He also recently received a photograph of the Clintons with another fund-raising plea and the message: "Thank-you for your understanding during the last year."
