Here we mention the 3 most important revelations Clinton made through ‘The Citizen’, his memoirs.

The Monica Lewinsky Conspiracy

Bill Clinton’s relationship with Monica Lewinsky, who was an intern at the White House during his tenure, is a topic of conversation that has not let him breathe for years. From interviews to talk shows, he was introduced to her name and if he did enough to be fair to her and others involved.
Now, according to The Guardian, Bill Clinton wrote in the ‘Citizen’: “I said, ‘No, I felt terrible then.’ “Did you ever say sorry to her?” I said I apologized to her and everyone else I had wronged. I was taken aback by what came next. “But you didn’t apologize to her, at least according to people we’ve talked to.” I struggled to contain my frustration as I replied that although I had never spoken to her directly, I had publicly said on more than (one) occasion that I was sorry.”
The Guardian also mentions “He notes that NBC soon added a clip of him addressing faith leaders at the White House in 1999 apologizing to his family, Lewinsky and her family, and the American people. “I meant it then, and I mean it today,” he writes.

The Epstein Controversy

Jeffrey Epstein, an American financier and sex offender, was known for his wealth, connections to influential people and his illegal activities. Epstein Island, his center for all things horrific and illegal, revealed his true face to the world and he brought many more with him.
Former US President Bill Clinton was one of the names in the Epstein controversy and here is what he had to say about it.
According to The US Sun, Clinton wrote in her memoirs: “I always thought Epstein was strange, but had no idea of ​​the crimes he committed. He hurt a lot of people, but I knew nothing about it, and when he first became arrested in 2005, I had stopped contact with him. I have never visited his island.”
He also added: “The bottom line is that while it allowed me to visit the work of my foundation, it was not worth traveling on Epstein’s plane for subsequent years of questioning.”

His golden rules for politics

Another revelation Clinton made in his memoir was about his 12 golden rules for surviving in politics.
In an exclusive excerpt shared by People Magazine (website), the 12 rules were –
“Never tell anybody to go to hell unless you can make them go (Sam Rayburn told LBJ so).
Never drink in public – you might act like yourself.
Every time you hear, “It’s nothing personal,” get ready.
When someone can shift the heat from themselves to you, prepare to be grilled.
Everyone is for change in general, but often against it in particular – it depends on whose ox is being slaughtered.
When people say, “It’s not a money problem,” they’re always talking about someone else’s problem.
If you see a turtle on a fence post, it didn’t get there by accident.
When you start feeling good, you need to be somewhere else.
You are always most vulnerable when you feel invulnerable or when you are angry and exhausted.
Take criticism seriously, but not personally (one I got from Hillary and well explained by Don Miguel Ruiz in The Four Agreements).
If you want to bring your emotions to work, go into another industry.
Don’t give up on people – if you dig long enough, there’s almost always someone still down there somewhere.”
