Political scandals refer to events or actions involving politicians or government officials that lead to public outrage or loss of trust. These scandals often involve unethical behavior, such as corruption, bribery, or misuse of power. They can significantly impact public opinion and the political landscape, sometimes resulting in resignations or legal consequences for those involved. Such scandals can arise from various situations, including financial misconduct, personal misconduct, or abuse of authority. Notable examples include the Watergate scandal, which led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon, and the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal, which involved President Bill Clinton and raised questions about his integrity and accountability.
