How accurate was Tuesday night's 'Impeachment: American Crime Story'? We asked MadelineSKaplan to fact-check the episode, about Bill Clinton’s testimony in the Paula Jones case and the behind-the-scenes drama in Ken Starr’s office
Photo: Tina Thorpe/FX The new FX limited series Impeachment: American Crime Story — the third in a true-crime anthology that started with The People v. O.J. Simpson and continued with The Assassination of Gianni Versace — covers the events leading up to Bill Clinton’s impeachment in December 1998, with a heavy emphasis on the fallout from his sexual relationship with Monica Lewinsky.
“She was really freaked out by that. She was also freaked out — and this is what they show in the episode — that Linda got served with a subpoena on her birthday in late November and didn’t tell Monica about it for a little while afterward. It’s not just the fact of her being subpoenaed and complicating the ability for Monica to put this all behind her without involving anyone else.
“By this point, it did seem in some ways that things were winding down. There were disagreements about whether certain other avenues could be included or not in the investigation. But by and large, it was understood that they could keep going to the same places, but they were going to keep encountering the same roadblocks: of the Clintons not helping them get documents, of people protecting them. They’d reached a lot of dead ends of where they could go with this.
“One dynamic that’s slightly changed for TV is the drama of Paula seeming blindsided by this. For a long period of time, it was pretty clear that Clinton’s attorneys wanted to try to introduce things from her past, to introduce explicit details about her personal life. This was something they knew was coming. And by this point, the guy that they mentioned, Dennis Kirkland, had been deposed and Paula was present for his deposition.
