History's steamiest political sex scandals
With CIA Director David Petraeus resigning over an affair, look back at some of the biggest political sex scandals.
In 1998, news broke of an affair between then-President Bill Clinton and 22-year-old White House intern Monica Lewinsky. The resulting investigation eventually led to the impeachment of Clinton by the U.S. House of Representatives and his subsequent acquittal on perjury and obstruction of justice charges in a 21-day Senate trial.
