'I was so supported by my friends:' Clinton talks about how she got through Lewinsky affair
Hillary Clinton got through her husband's affair with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky like many of us get through break-ups or a tumultuous stretch in a relationship -- with the help of friends.
In a CNN interview that aired Monday, Clinton talked about how her friends "rallied around" her as the affair became public knowledge in the late 1990s.
“I was so supported by my friends," Clinton said. "They would try to make me laugh. They would recommend books to read. We’d go for long walks, we’d hang out, you know, eat bad food. I mean, just the kinds of things you do with your friends."
