Matt Drudge Flashback: RARE Interviews on Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky Scandal

Matt Drudge opened up to ET in these rare interviews amid the Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky scandal in 1998. The Drudge Report founder explained his website’s role in breaking details about the President’s affair at the dawn of internet journalism. Throughout the year, Drudge commented on Linda Tripp’s tape-recorded conversations with the former White House intern, Kenneth Starr’s investigation and the changing face of news stories in the ’90s. Following Clinton’s grand jury deposition in August 1998, Drudge reflected on going from ‘folding t-shirts in a gift shop’ in Hollywood to instigating a media firestorm that changed Washington D.C. forever.
