Typically there are three sides to such events...her's, his and the truth. An NDA is not illegal, and given the public discourse at the time, somewhat understandable.
Did I say I believe him? I've never voted for him. My guess would be you think he's guilty because he isn't a demonrat and it plays into your liberal partisan spin.

On November 13, 1998, Clinton settled with Jones for $850,000 in exchange for her agreement to drop the appeal.[4]
The case to go away?
According to Ferguson’s deposition, Jones was no shrinking violet singled out by Clinton but instead had asked the trooper to facilitate a meeting with the governor in a hotel room where he was working, because she judged Clinton “good looking,” with “sexy hair.” When asked by his lawyer, “Would you say she was the instigator of that meeting?” Ferguson replied, “Yes, sir.” He also stated, in the deposition last December, that Jones emerged happy from the room to which he escorted her and that Clinton told him, “She came up here and nothing happened.”AtticusFinch » 18 Nov 2024, 8:36 am » wrote: ↑ Also on November 21, 2017, the House Ethics Committee launched an investigation into multiple sexual harassment allegations against Conyers.[75]
On November 22, 2017, The Washington Post reported that Melanie Sloan, founder of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), publicly accused Conyers of having harassed and verbally abused her during her tenure working for the House Judiciary Committee. On one occasion, Sloan alleged that Conyers had summoned to his office, where she found him sitting in his underwear; she quickly departed.[76]
Later in November 2017, there were reports that another woman accused Conyers of sexual harassment.[77] House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who had initially stated that Conyers was an "icon" and had done a great deal to protect women,[78] called upon Conyers to resign. She said the allegations against him were "very credible".[79]
On December 5, 2017, aged 88, Conyers resigned his House seat because of his mounting sexual scandals.[80] The announcement came the day after another former staffer released an affidavit accusing Conyers of sexual harassment.[81] The same day, an article by The Washington Post published allegations by Courtney Morse that Conyers had threatened her with a similar fate to that of Chandra Levy, a staffer found murdered in a park in Washington, DC. She said that after she rejected his advances, he "s

FORMER NEW YORK GOVERNOR ELIOT SPITZER

Spitzer, a Democrat, apologized for his "private failings," but did not refer specifically to the report at the time. Months later, he admitted his involvement with the ring after a federal prosecutor declined to bring charges.

John ConyersIn 2015, a former employee of Conyers alleged that he had sexually harassed her and dismissed her. She filed an affidavit with the Congressional Office of Compliance.[69] Conyers had entered into a confidentiality agreement with the former employee and had paid her a $27,000 (~$33,936 in 2023) settlement from his publicly funded office budget in 2015.[70] BuzzFeed reported on the allegations and settlement on November 20, 2017; Buzzfeed also reported allegations that Conyers "repeatedly made sexual advances to female staff," caressed female staffers' hands in a sexual manner, and rubbed their backs and legs in public.[71][72][73]On November 21, 2017, Conyers issued a statement in which he said, "In our country, we strive to honor this fundamental principle that all are entitled to due process. In this case, I expressly and vehemently denied the allegations made against me, and continue to do so. My office resolved the allegations – with an express denial of liability – in order to save all involved from the rigors of protracted litigation."[74]

How did she do in her effort to sue Ferguson?AtticusFinch » 18 Nov 2024, 8:31 am » wrote: ↑ Background
In a declaration sworn under penalty of felony,[11] Jones alleged that, on May 8, 1991, while working on official business in her capacity as a state employee of the AIDC, she attended the Annual Governor's Quality Conference at the Excelsior Hotel in Little Rock. Jones alleged she was asked by an Arkansas State Police Trooper to report to Arkansas Governor Clinton's hotel room in the Excelsior[12][13][14] Hotel (now the Little Rock Marriott), where Clinton propositioned and exposed himself to her. She claimed she kept quiet about the incident until 1994, when a David Brock story in The American Spectator magazine printed an account. Jones filed a sexual harassment suit against Clinton on May 6, 1994, two days before the expiration of the three-year statute of limitations, and sought $750,000 in damages.[15]
