This was another scandal involving the Clinton's while running for office. Resulting investigations concluded they were not personally responsible for ripping off investors in their Whitewater Land investment company. Nothing to do with Nixon, nothing to do with Monica Lewinsky.
The investment company went belly up and among the very few who didn't lose their shirts in this company was Clintons.

The Whitewater Controversy (also called the Whitewater scandal or simply Whitewater) was an American political controversy concerning the allegedly illegal real estate dealings of Bill and Hillary Clinton and their associates in the Whitewater Development Agency during the 1970s and 1980s.
A New York Times article published during the 1992 U.S. presidential campaign reported that Clinton and his wife had invested in and lost money in the Whitewater development project.[1] A U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission investigation resulted in criminal charges against the two principals in the Whitewater project, but the Clintons themselves were never charged. Three separate inquiries found that the Clintons did not participate in any criminal conduct.[2]

a waste of taxpayers money
April 1, 1999

WASHINGTON (AllPolitics, April 1) -- Independent Counsel Ken Starr's office spent $6.2 million during the six months last year when wrapping up its case against President Bill Clinton in the Monica Lewinsky matter. With that additional spending, Starr's probe is about to become the most expensive independent counsel inquiry ever.
According to figures released by the General Accounting Office (GAO) Wednesday, Starr's spending increased more than 50 percent over the critical period of April to September, during which Lewinsky was deposed multiple times and Starr was finishing his referral to Congress.
The new expenditures push the cost of the independent counsel's 4 1/2-year inquiry of the president and first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to $39.2 million. Starr was appointed to continue the investigation of the Clinton's Whitewater land deal. The probe was expanded in January 1998 to include the Lewinsky matter.
