Fx Networks is bringing Ryan Murphy’s famous Emmy winning anthology ‘American Crime Story’ back for the audience. One and a half year after the end of its previous season ‘The Murder of Gianni Versace’, this time the producer is coming with one of the most talked American Political Sex scandal.
An adaptation of Jeffrey Toobin’s 1999 book, ‘A Vast Conspiracy: The Real Story of the Sex Scandal that Nearly Brought Down a President’ will be featured under the name of ‘Impeachment: American Crime Story’. The story involves the relation shared by former US President Bill Clinton and White House intern Monica Lewinsky, leading to the charges of perjury and to the impeachment of Clinton in 1998.
