Both. The impeachment revolved around his actions with Monica Lewinsky, but it was also claimed that he raped someone:
quote:
Juanita Broaddrick told her story to a national television audience last night, saying she did not tell authorities 21 years ago of her contention that Bill Clinton sexually assaulted her because "I just don't think anyone would have believed me."
In a gripping account punctuated by sobs, the Arkansas woman told "Dateline NBC" that in her Little Rock hotel room, Clinton suddenly "turned me around and started kissing me, and that was a real shock. I first pushed him away. I just told him 'no.' . . . He tries to kiss me again. He starts biting on my lip. . . . And then he forced me down on the bed. I just was very frightened. I tried to get away from him. I told him 'no.' . . . He wouldn't listen to me."
But Broaddrick could not remember the date, even the month, of the alleged 1978 incident. And NBC's Lisa Myers reported that Broaddrick, a volunteer in Clinton's first gubernatorial campaign, attended a Clinton fund-raiser three weeks later. "I think I was still in denial," Broaddrick said. "I still felt very guilty at that time, that it was my fault. By letting him come to the room, I had given him the wrong idea."

Clinton exhibited quite a bit of sleazy behaviour, as have numerous politicians of all parties. I thought, and think, the attempts at impeachement were a load of partisan shit, though. I realize some here see many of my posts as supportive of the Right, but trust me, if I had been here (if there was a "here") during Clinton's time in office, you'd have seen a shit-load of posts attacking the likes of Tom DeLay and Newt Gingrich.
