Steve Kroft on the impact of the Clintons' 1992 60 Mintues interview

During his 1992 60 Minutes interview with Bill and Hillary Clinton, journalist Steve Kroft probed the couple on many different topics, including Bill’s rumored infidelities. Kroft discusses the impact he believes the interview had on the election:

“The only way [Bill Clinton] was gonna get elected was if he took a little bit of a beating. If he had somebody that was asking him the tough questions and he was responding to these questions...And I think people, many of whom had never seen him before, were sort of impressed by the performance and particularly by his wife. And I think it helped him in the end get elected.”
