Hillary Clinton’s inner circle privately expressed concerns about tabloid reports on one of Bill Clinton’s alleged mistresses, a blond socialite who was reportedly nicknamed ‘The Energizer,’ according to leaked emails published by Wikileaks this week.

A Dec. 28, 2014 email exchange between Hillary Clinton’s top aide Cheryl Mills and campaign chairman John Podesta appears to reference Julie Tauber McMahon, a wealthy 56-year-old neighbor of the Clintons who has been romantically linked to the former president.

The email was sent by Podesta to Mills, and is subject-lined ‘Julie.’

‘Saw her pic in this or last weeks Enquirer,’ wrote Podesta. ‘Probably need to revisit Whitehaven conversation.’

Mills responded, ‘k.’

In the months leading up to the emails, the National Enquirer and other outlets had reported on Clinton’s supposed fling with Tauber McMahon. Whitehaven is the name of the Clintons’ house in Washington, D.C. – indicating that close aides previously huddled to discuss the alleged affair.

According to Ron Kessler’s 2014 book ‘The First Family Detail: Secret Service Agents Reveal the Hidden Lives of Presidents,’ Secret Service agents nicknamed McMahon ‘The Energizer’ because of how Bill Clinton appeared to be reinvigorated by her visits.

McMahon has denied the affair and said she is a ‘family friend’ of the Clintons.

Bill Clinton reportedly struck up a relationship with McMahon, a Chappaqua, New York neighbour, after leaving the White House. In 2010, the Clinton Global Initiative helped steer a $2 million commitment to a firm co-owned by McMahon.

Bill Clinton has previously admitted to extramarital affairs with White House intern Monica Lewinsky and former model Gennifer Flowers, and a number of other women have claimed they had sexual relationships with him while he was married.

The former president has also been accused by several women of sexual assault and harassment. In 1998, he paid $850,000 to settle a sexual harassment lawsuit brought by former Arkansas state employee Paula Jones, who claimed Clinton exposed himself to her in a hotel room.

A former White House volunteer, Kathleen Willey, accused Clinton of sexually assaulting her during a meeting in the Oval Office. Juanita Broaddrick, a former nursing home administrator from Arkansas, said she was raped by Clinton in 1978 during a meeting in an Arkansas hotel room.
