The Clintons got in trouble because they lied about a real estate deal. In 1992, Bill Clinton was running for President, and he was accused of using his position to help his wife’s real estate business. A real estate deal went bad, and Hillary Clinton’s name was mentioned. The Clintons were accused of using their influence to cover up for their involvement in the real estate deal.
