Bill Clinton was not amused when a motorist jokingly asked him about Monica Lewinsky during a chat in Manhattan.

'You the best president man,' the New Yorker is heard telling Clinton.

'Trump gotta go. Trump gotta go Bill Clinton,' the man added.

Clinton is seen waving at the man before giving him a thumbs-up after his remarks about President Donald Trump.

'Alright, have a nice day. Tell Hillary I said what up Bill Clinton,' the man said as Clinton gave another thumbs up.

And what seemed to be a nice little chat for the former president, turned into quite an uncomfortable situation.

'Best president alive man. How’s Monica?' the man excitedly asks, prompting Clinton to roll up his window as his SUV prepares to pull off.

The Lewinsky scandal broke in 1998, when a news report emerged saying then-president Clinton had an affair with Lewinsky, who was a White House intern at the time.

Clinton first forcefully denied the allegations, saying in January 1998 in a public statement: 'I want to say one thing to the American people. I want you to listen to me ... I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.'

Lewinsky testified that she and the president had nine sexual encounters in the Oval Office between November 1995 and March 1997.

When the president’s aides noticed that their boss was spending too much time with Lewinsky in the White House, she was transferred to the Pentagon. It was there that she met a co-worker, Linda Tripp.

The affair became public after Tripp secretly recorded conversations with her and passed them on to Kenneth Starr, the independent counsel investigating Clinton for his role in the Whitewater deal.

Both Clinton and Lewinsky denied having a sexual relationship under oath when testifying in the Paul Jones lawsuit accusing the then-president of sexual harassment.

Clinton eventually admitted in August 1998 to having an inappropriate relationship with Lewinsky, who was an intern at the White House at the time of the affair.

'I know that my public comments and my silence about this matter gave a false impression. I misled people, including even my wife,' he said at the time. 'I deeply regret that.

'Indeed I did have a relationship with Ms. Lewinsky that was not appropriate.

'In fact, it was wrong. It constituted a critical lapse in judgment and a personal failure on my part for which I am solely and completely responsible.'

Clinton became only the second president in US history to be impeached by Congress. He was charged with perjury and obstruction of justice.

After Clinton’s impeachment, a trial was held in the Senate, where Republicans fell short of the necessary amount of votes to remove him from office.

In the two decades since the scandal, Lewinsky has largely stayed out of the public eye – only to re-emerge in recent years as an advocate for preventing cyber-bullying.

Fox News Channel recently unveiled a new documentary about events that led up to the impeachment of Clinton almost 30 years ago.

The hour-long episode of Scandalous, narrated by actor Bruce McGill, first aired January 21 at 8pm.

Scandalous featured interviews with more than 40 people, among them principals in that saga, including special prosecutor Ken Starr, former Senator Joe Lieberman, current Senator Lindsey Graham, and Linda Tripp.

The documentary focused on the sequence of events that led to the impeachment, including the Whitewater controversy.

Whitewater was a failed Arkansas real estate venture which involved Bill and Hillary Clinton.

Scandalous airs every Sunday at 8pm on the Fox News Channel.
