The first full trailer for the hotly-anticipated Impeachment: American Crime Story, that depicts the Bill Clinton impeachment scandal and his sexual relationship with Monica Lewinsky, was released on Thursday.
It’s the first time the full cast have been seen in character, including Clive Owen as Bill Clinton, Edie Falco as Hillary Clinton, Billy Eichner as Matt Drudge, and Cobie Smulders as Ann Coulter.
At one point, The Sopranos star Falco is seen in an emotional fit of rage, throwing things at her husband Bill, played by British actor Owen.

As previously seen in the teaser, Beanie Feldstein plays Lewinsky, with Sarah Paulson as her confidante Linda Tripp, who famously exposed the affair.
Feldstein’s Lewinsky is introduced in the trailer as a voiceover is heard explaining to a young group of White House interns the importance of their roles.
‘As you no doubt heard, you get to work in the West Wing as of this morning. You’re going to be working right beside the people who run the world. Please, be professional,’ the voice says.

Paulson as Tripp is then heard talking about the affair, saying dramatically: ‘There’s a woman I’m very close to… in the midst of an affair, with the President of the United States.
‘How do I know it’s true?’ a man is heard asking Paulson as Tripp. She is then warned ‘you will lose her as a friend’ referring to Tripp’s relationship with Lewinski.
But a crazed-looking Paulson is seen saying, ‘I have made my peace with that.’
‘It all has to come out,’ Paulson says, as she lays out her taped evidence of conversations with Lewinski.
The drama then unfolds as Edie Falco is seen throwing things around the Oval Office as she plays Hillary reacting in fury to news of the affair.
Several historic moments are recreated for the series including when daughter Chelsea Clinton held the hands of both parents Bill and Hillary at the height of the controversy.
A previous clip from the show released yesterday featured an exchange of dialogue between the pair, as Feldstein’s Lewinsky is heard saying, ‘The president kissed me,’ as Paulson responds, ‘Tell me everything.’
The infamous scandal saw the then US-President Bill Clinton accused of having a sexual relationship with a White House intern.
Lewinsky stated that she had nine sexual encounters in the Oval Office with Clinton between November 1995 and March 1997.
