CLINTON HUSH $🧵FLASHBACK: President Bill Clinton offered Paula Jones $850K ($1.7M in 2023 dollars) in so-called 'hush money' if she agreed not to pursue litigation. For context, Trump only paid $180K of his own money to Stormy Daniels.
CLINTON HUSH $🧵: Paula Jones offered to settle her sexual harassment case against Clinton for $25K. Bill said no and funded more than $1.5M in legal costs over 4.5 years after the DNC bought him a $1M Chubb Insurance Policy and he used his own $500K State Farm Auto Policy.
CLINTON HUSH $🧵: Having reached his policy limits with Chubb and State Farm, both insurers refused to fund the $850K settlement Clinton offered Paula Jones. Without explanation, Chubb agreed to pay $475K of the settlement. The remaining $375K was paid by Hillary Clinton.
CLINTON HUSH $: The court initially ruled that Paula Jones couldn't prove damages as she only made $4.93/hr working for Bill Clinton when he got naked and tried to force her to give him a blowjob.
CLINTON HUSH $🧵: After it was shown Bill Clinton committed perjury by lying about having sex with Monica Lewinsky and the case reached the Supreme Court Clinton decided to cut his losses and pay Paula Jones the $850,000 she was asking for.
CLINTON HUSH $🧵: Of course, Paula Jones got screwed over yet again when her lawyers convinced the court to let them keep all by $200K of the settlement.
CLINTON HUSH $🧵: At the end of the day, the DNC, his lawyers, Chubb, State Farm, and Hillary Clinton all paid as much as $5M in to eventually make his attack on Paula Jones 'go away'. No one ever investigated or prosecuted Clinton for accepting the money. Nada.
