N A revelation that could shatter Hillary Clinton’s bid for the White House, former President Bill Clinton once admitted he wasn’t the biological father of the couple’s only child – daughter Chelsea!
That’s the explosive claim of former Clinton aide Larry Nichols – who further claims that Bill confirmed long-standing rumors that Chelsea’s real dad is Webster Hubbell, Hillary’s former law partner in Little Rock, Ark.!
As Hillary prepares to announce whether she’ll seek the 2016 presidential nomination, the “love child” scandal centering on 34-year-old Chelsea – now pregnant with investment banker-husband Marc Mezvinsky, 36 – has been slowly building traction. A June 2 report in “The New Yorker” referenced the rumors, citing claims made by anti-Clinton blogger Robert Morrow. A week later, another national magazine questioned whether Hillary was “hiding (a) bombshell paternity scandal.”
To get to the bottom of the charges, The National ENQUIRER tracked down Larry, who began working for Bill when he was Arkansas governor. The 63-year-old ex-Clinton confidante told The ENQUIRER that Bill dropped the paternity bombshell during a conversation the two were having at the Arkansas Governor’s Mansion. He says it took place in 1984, Bill’s second term in office. At the time, there were rumors that hound-dog Bill – who later confessed to several affairs, including those with Gennifer Flowers and Monica Lewinsky – had impregnated a local woman.
“We were discussing this woman’s claims that Bill had knocked her up and what we should do about it,” said Larry. “But he denied that he could have gotten her pregnant. He said he had measles as a kid and that rendered him sterile! “His exact words were, ‘I shoot blanks.’
“Stunned by what I’d just heard, I asked him, ‘Then what about Chelsea?’
And he said, ‘Oh, Webb (Hubbell) sired her,’” referring to Hillary’s Rose Law Firm colleague, once a close Clinton family friend.
Chelsea was born on Feb. 27, 1980.
Now, more than three decades later, the allegations about her paternity may be turned against Hillary. Blogger Morrow told The ENQUIRER that he’s reporting the love child scandal because it raises “character questions about Hillary” if she runs again for the nation’s highest office.
“Chelsea is a dead ringer for Webb,” he said. “But Hillary initially kept the pregnancy secret from Bill! “If your wife becomes pregnant, the husband is usually the second person to know. But I find it very odd that Bill initially didn’t find out about his wife becoming pregnant – and had to learn that fact from a newspaper! “
According to well-respected author Edward Klein’s (2005) book, ‘The Truth about Hillary,’ Bill discovered his wife was pregnant by reading it in the ‘Arkansas Gazette.’ “It’s unfortunate, sad really, that Chelsea has no real relationship with Webb – who I believe to be her real biological father – when he’s alive and kicking and living in North Carolina.
“But it could be she’s in denial, despite overwhelming proof that Webb is her real dad.”
Seven years before Chelsea’s birth, the former First Lady, now 66, met Hubbell, also 66, when they were taking exams to get their licenses to practice law in 1973.
After becoming a partner in the law firm, Hubbell served as mayor of Little Rock. In 1984, four years after Chelsea’s birth, then- Gov. Clinton appointed Hubbell as Chief Justice of the Arkansas State Supreme Court. But the married lawyer was forced to resign in 1994 and later pleaded guilty to federal mail fraud and tax evasion for overbilling clients. He served 15 months of a 21-month sentence. Hubbell, who has since battled medical problems, has reportedly kept in touch with Bill. He and his wife Suzy live in Charlotte, N.C., and are parents to four children. He just released his first novel, a political thriller, ironically titled “When Men Betray.”
In a book he wrote in 1997, titled “Friends in High Places,” Hubbell mentions Chelsea with apparent affection. He writes: “On summer evenings, I could sip a drink in my big living room and look out at children – including the Fosters’ and the Clintons’, when Chelsea got big enough – bouncing happily on a trampoline…. Such a scene made me feel successful.” Hubbell did not respond to comment requests made by The ENQUIRER.
But Larry pointed out that Bill was a wonderful “father” to Chelsea. “Whatever Chelsea does or doesn’t know about her paternity, I’m sure she considers Bill her real dad – despite there being no blood ties,” Larry added. “I saw firsthand what a doting, loving father he was to his little girl. He always treated her as if she was his own – which in his heart I believe she’s always been – from day one.”
Harry is Charles’ kid. When he was a youngster he did look like one of Diana’s boyfriends. But as he’s gotten older, he is starting to look like Charles. This particular rumor needs to die.
People forget that England has a relatively small gene pool and they kind of all look alike. And ginger is a very common hair color.
or BOTH...................
Valerie Jarrett?
I thought it was mumps. If a man who had gone into puberty has the mumps he can become sterile. I never heard it about measles. A pregnant woman getting measles is really bad though which is why before inoculations, kids were encouraged to have measles early. I didn’t get either kind until I was 14 then I got both and chicken pox all within a few months. Never had the mumps.
These Clinton stories in the National Inquirer are surprising. There have been one or two on Hillary too. I thought the National Inquirer was purchased by one of Clinton’s buddies so that it wouldn’t publish Clinton scandal stories.
It was obvious once she was about 10 years old that she was Web Hubbell’s bastard child.
Wasn’t the Enquirer also one of the first on the Monica Lewinsky story?
I believe Matt Drudge broke the story , but the Enquirer was on it right after that.
DNA tests on Chels and Bill could stop the speculation in a heartbeat. Of course, it could stop some other stuff as well. Like Killary’s run for POTUS.
I don’t know
Maybe Liz Warren to go for the liberal females who think its their turn to screw up the presidency, and a man who is young fresh and photogenic with a cute family for VP (I realize this excludes the basset-face Andrew Cuomo)
I’ve posted this to FR before but it’s been years, so here goes again.
During the height of the early furor over Ken Starr’s investigation leading up to impeachment hearings for then-President Bill Clinton, I saw a newspaper article dealing with this in USA Today. They didn’t really know what Starr was going to dredge up, and so I assume they tried to get ahead of the news cycle to put a positive spin on several matters.
One of those matters was Webster Hubbell being father of Chelsea Clinton. It was in April, I meant to keep the paper specifically for that article because it was so odd, but didn’t. It was one of those giveaway copies of USA Today that hotels and restaurants used to keep for patrons. I was reading it over a solo lunch in a Chili’s restaurant alongside I-40 in Greensboro, NC.
There was never any mention of it again, in any major news outlet. The story was pretty thoroughly spiked.
I missed grocery shopping that week...
well, you know...”what difference at this point does it make?”...
(other than fodder for the VWRC, of course!)
national enquirer. that means the clintons planted this story. the question is why?
re: Lewinsky
The NE hit the news stands with that revelation while the MSM were cowering. The NE coverage forced the MSM onto the story.
A few times in its history, NE has been ahead of the MSM. Few.
Bingo. I roll my eyes when people make two-headed-alien remarks about the National Enquirer. It’s been almost thirty years since the Enquirer ran those types of stories. People don’t have to read the Enquirer or approve of it, but if they want to have any credibility when criticizing it, they shouldn’t open with very dated zingers.
I thought he had committed Arkancide ages ago. God I miss him! He was a standard feature on the George Putnam Show on WKIEV for a couple of years.
His modern equivalent is Sheriff Joe. Everything Larry said about Bill is true. Everything Sheriff Joe says about Barry is true.
And the reaction of the public is exactly the same.
So what?
