Clinton In Crisis: US comment
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The Wall Street Journal, 18 August: "Whatever we eventually learn ... Mr Clinton has rubbed our noses into this muck for ... long enough to force us to confront the facts and the standard of behaviour we expect from Presidents."
The New York Post, 18 August: "Even if the President's reputation is sullied beyond repair, if his honour and honesty are completely and irrevocably undermined, the damage falls primarily on this President. The presidency - the dignity, the authority, the bully pulpit - survives because it must."
Senator Joseph Lieberman, 4 September: "The transgressions the President has admitted to are too consequential for us to walk away and leave the impression for our children ... that what President Clinton acknowledges he did within the White House is acceptable behaviour for our nation's leader."
Democratic congressman Jim Moran, 6 September: "I'm confident he can restore the full moral authority of his presidency and go on to finish [his] full term honourably."
Washington Times, 12 September: "All people of conscience should now be demanding that he resign and once and for all take his leave of the sewer he has made out of public life."
