Impeachment: American Crime Story stars Sarah Paulson as Linda Tripp, Beanie Feldstein as Monica Lewinsky, Annaleigh Ashford as Paula Jones, Clive Owen as Bill Clinton, Anthony Green as Al Gore, Edie Falco as Hillary Clinton, Billy Eichner as Matt Drudge, and Colin Hanks.
“Based on a true crisis, the limited series will be examining the national crisis that led to the first impeachment of a U.S. President in over a century through the eyes of the women at the center of the events: Monica Lewinsky, Linda Tripp, and Paula Jones,” says the official synopsis. “All three were thrust into the public spotlight during a time of corrosive partisan rancor, shifting sexual politics, and a changing media landscape.”
