Leo Varadkar apologises over Clinton intern comments in Washington, describing them as 'ill-judged'
It was two years after news of the president's affair with the White House intern rocked the world, and eventually led to his impeachment trial.
Speaking today, the Irish leader jokingly remarked that he was interning in the US capital at a time"when some parents would have had cause for concern about what would happen to interns in Washington." The comment was greeted by some laughter in the room, but was quickly seen as an embarrassing mis-step, especially as the Clintons are due to visit Ireland next month as part of the Good Friday Agreement 25th anniversary celebrations."At the Washington Ireland Program event today, the Taoiseach was reminiscing about his time in Washington DC as an intern 23 years ago.
