Whitewater

Nineties Clinton controversy

Whitewater is a city in Wisconsin and appears in various U.S. place names.

It also refers to the Whitewater controversy, a 1990s political scandal involving Bill and Hillary Clinton's real estate investments in Arkansas.

Congressional investigations and independent counsel inquiries dominated news cycles but ultimately produced no charges against the Clintons related to the land deal itself.

The Whitewater investigation expanded into other matters. (Lowercase whitewater describes turbulent river rapids.)
