The governor of Alabama, Robert Bentley resigned today, after impeachment charges. He allegedly used state resources to cover up a extramarital affair. He made this announcement right after being booked to jail and pleading guilty of not filing a large contribution report, a misdemeanor, and converting campaign contributions to personal use. This article connects to when Richard Nixon resigned after the Watergate charges and almost being impeached. They both did something illegal and tried to cover it up which resulted in them both getting impeached and resignation. Another connection to history is Bill Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky. Both Clinton and Bentley had affairs with people working for them.
