William JEFFERSON Clinton took a completely different tact than Hamilton when his affair became public. HE DENIED EVERYTHING.

So fathering children with your slave is OK for Jefferson and did not preclude him holding “an office of high public trust while living the life of a sexual libertine...” Only Hamilton merits your condemnation. LoL.

BTW one of Jefferson’s oldest friends challenged him to a duel because of his improprieties with his wife. Even after decades had passed.

...until the evidence became public as well.

The Reynolds letters were Hamilton's equivalent of the blue dress.

As to Jefferson & Hemmings (and briefly ignoring how that rumor came from the very same Callender you detest for publishing Hamilton's prostitution receipts yet apparently find credible when he was attacking Jefferson, thus again betraying your extreme biases), the most recent scholarship suggests that the evidence is at best inconclusive, and points toward another male relative living at Monticello as the likely culprit.
