OMG, even Chertoff.
Once A Clinton Nemesis During Whitewater, Now A Clinton Supporter
It's hard to imagine a less likely Hillary Clinton supporter than Michael Chertoff.
Chertoff led the Republicans' 1990s probe into the Clintons' land deal, known as the Whitewater investigation — and that led to the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Clinton would later vote against Chertoff for other key positions requiring Senate approval.
In a dramatic turnaround, Chertoff just came out in support of Hillary Clinton for president.
"The reality is ... it's a binary choice. This is not, 'What is your best outcome in the world,' " Chertoff tells NPR's Renee Montagne. "It is: You have two people, and which of the two would be better as president? And I think presented in that way, it was pretty clear to me that I should publicly take the step of saying that I would be planning to vote for Hillary Clinton."
