A guide to the historical figures of 'Impeachment'
Photo: Tina Thorpe/FX Ryan Murphy returns to the world of American Crime Story with the third installment in the anthology series, Impeachment. No, it’s not about either of Donald Trump’s, but rather the one that dominated headlines a quarter-century ago, when President Bill Clinton was accused of “high crimes and misdemeanors” related to his relationship with an intern named Monica Lewinsky.
Years later, in April 1996, this is where Linda Tripp would meet Monica Lewinsky. Reports differ as to whether Lewinsky explicitly told Tripp that her boyfriend drama involved the president before the 1996 election , but Tripp claims she had figured it out. She would become an ally for Lewinsky through the rocky relationship, but a subpoena in the Paula Jones case would lead Tripp to record her new BFF, a decision that serves as one of the major dramatic through-lines of Impeachment.
Impeachment: American Crime Story is clearly sympathetic to Lewinsky, and the fact that the former intern is a producer on the show likely strengthens the veracity of that side of the portrayal; it feels genuine, if impossible to fully confirm.

Kathleen and her husband Ed Willey were major donors to Clinton’s 1992 campaign, and she was volunteering in the White House in July 1993, when Ryan Murphy’s show opens.
Impeachment introduces Paula Jones in January 1994, almost three years later, and just after the release of a story in The American Spectator called “His Cheatin’ Heart,” by David Brock. In that piece, she is referred to only as “Paula,” and Brock alleges a trooper was told to approach Paula, “tell her how attractive the governor thought she was, and take her to a room in the hotel where Clinton would be waiting.

The real Goldberg was a longtime political power player, even working on John F.
Years later, Nussbaum would publicly support Clinton’s run for president, and so the former ally and experienced attorney was asked to be counsel to the president of the United States in 1993, and that’s the role he’s filling when the show begins.

Without her encouraging Paula to really make the president pay, Jones may have settled, and the subpoenas of Monica Lewinsky and Linda Tripp would have never happened.
However, everything changed in 1998. As captured on the show, Drudge turned his relationship with Newsweek reporter Michael Isikoff into the first story about Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky. On January 17, the Drudge Report revealed that Newsweek was prepping a story about the president and the 22-year-old intern. The lede was simple but powerful: “At the last minute, at 6 p.m.
As the Lewinsky scandal unfolded, Coulter would become one of the most public anti-Clinton faces in the world, even releasing a best-selling book in October 1998 in the midst of the scandal titled High Crimes and Misdemeanors: The Case Against Bill Clinton. Her inflammatory style made her a household name; she churned out books through the ’00s and ’10s and became a staple on conservative talk shows.

Jordan couldn’t have known then the role he would play in an international scandal, as the job offer would be seen as a quid pro quo related to Lewinsky’s relationship with the president of the United States.
Years later, Jordan would request that the government pay his sizable legal bills related to the Lewinsky scandal. This was denied by the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, which ruled he was entitled to only $1,215.
