Original Note:
No, Bill Clinton did not pay "hush money." The payment was a legal settlement of $850,000 that Clinton made to resolve a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by Paula Jones. This settlement was part of a publicly documented legal process, not a clandestine payment to ensure silence https://www.khou.com/article/news/verify/government-verify/bill-clinton-paula-jones-not-hush-money-but-public-settlement-trump-indictment/536-72d4a595-853a-40bd-acd9-b646c9950f80
