‘Drunk Yeltsin was found roaming outside White House’

RUSSIAN leader Boris Yeltsin was once found near the White House late at night dressed in his underwear, seemingly drunk and looking for pizza, according to a new book detailing Bill Clinton’s presidency.

The claim comes in a 700-page expose, parsed from hours of secret recordings made by the former US president and Pulitzer prize-winning journalist Taylor Branch, excerpts of which were published in USA Today yesterday.

Clinton “relayed how Boris Yeltsin’s late-night drinking during a visit to Washington in 1995 nearly created an international incident” Taylor told the paper.
