A little over ten years ago, Bill Clinton, the 42nd president of the United States was involved in scandalous affairs with Monica Lewinsky. President Clinton had an extramarital affair with Lewinsky, who was an intern in the White House at the time.

Clinton issued many apologies for this incident which were all appropriate and deserved. He was not forced to issue an apology but for this instance one is expected, and was handled well.
