On August 17, 1998, Bill Clinton testified before a grand jury via closed-circuit television, becoming the first sitting U.S. president to do so. During the testimony, he admitted to having "inappropriate intimate contact" with Monica Lewinsky but defended his earlier denials with the infamous phrase, "It depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is." His testimony was a key moment in the investigation, which eventually led to his impeachment. #BillClinton #GrandJuryTestimony #LewinskyScandal #MoofLife
