Monica Lewinsky to co-produce Bill Clinton impeachment drama
President Clinton’s affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky and the 1999 impeachment proceedings it led to are to be dramatized on US television.
The latest series of American Crime Story will air in the run-up to next year’s presidential election.
Lewinsky is among the producers on the FX show, which follows previous seasons devoted to the OJ Simpson trial and the murder of Gianni Versace.
Lewinsky, now 46, was 22 when she became romantically involved with Clinton, who was 27 years her senior.
The former president was impeached for perjury and later acquitted by Congress after lying about the relationship.
Booksmart actress Beanie Feldstein will play Lewinsky in the drama while is not yet known who will play Bill and Hillary Clinton in the show, which will be based on a 2000 book by Jeffrey Toobin.
Impeachment: American Crime Story will premiere in the US on 27 September 2020.
