Lewinsky affair indefensible, says Clinton

FORMER President Bill Clinton has called his fight against impeachment a “badge of honour” and his affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky “morally indefensible” in a CBS television interview.

In the hour-long interview to air on CBS’ 60 Minutes on Sunday, two days before publication of his memoir, My Life, Mr Clinton said he was proud of his successful fight against impeachment.

“I didn’t quit, I never thought of resigning and I stood up to it and beat it back,” he said.
