After former President Bill Clinton went after NBC News reporter Craig Melvin for his line of questioning about the Monica Lewinsky scandal, anchors on NBC and MSNBC pushed back hard on Wednesday.
Clinton was widely panned for defensive and self-regarding responses Monday to Melvin's queries about Clinton's affair with Lewinsky in the light of the #MeToo movement. He claimed in subsequent interviews Melvin had asserted he never apologized for his conduct that led to his impeachment.
"Today" host Savannah Guthrie said Clinton had made "false allegations" about Melvin.
"The former president, Bill Clinton, expressing some regret over his controversial remarks about Monica Lewinsky here on ‘Today,' but still making false allegations about that interview with Craig," Guthrie said.
