History

Historical Context

In 1998, the U.S. House of Representatives impeached President Bill Clinton, citing perjury and obstruction of justice after a months-long investigation. Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr produced a 2,000-page report, and the Senate voted 45-55 on the first article, falling short of conviction. Today, Donald Trump uses Truth Social to denounce District Attorney Alvin Bragg and Attorney General Letitia James, echoing Clinton’s claim of politically motivated prosecution. Such parallel tactics revive concerns that high-profile legal battles can polarize the electorate and reshape future impeachment or criminal proceedings.
