End of Zoë Baird Nomination Fiasco

On January 22, 1993, President Bill Clinton announced that Zoë Baird had withdrawn her nomination for Attorney General following a controversy that became known as “nannygate.” Baird, a corporate attorney, had failed to pay Social Security taxes for her household help, sparking public outrage. The withdrawal ended the first major nomination crisis of the Clinton administration. #BillClinton #ZoëBaird #Nannygate #AttorneyGeneralNomination #MoofLife
