A brief history of adultery in the Oval Office

Donald Trump’s claim that former US president Bill Clinton was ‘the worst abuser of women in the history of politics’ shows just how politically ignorant he is, says historian Ryle Dwyer.       

Donald Trump has raised the nastiness of the US presidential campaign several notches with his distorted attack not only on Hillary Clinton, his likely opponent in November, but also on her husband, former president Bill Clinton.

Trump accused him of being “the worst abuser of women in the history of politics”. He then went on to accuse Hillary of “hurting the women” that Bill had abused.
