Edgar Hoover. 7 p.m. on A&E The Clinton Affair Airing nightly through Tuesday, this new three-part, six-hour documentary series from producer Alex Gibney and director Blair Foster explores the key historical events — the Whitewater investigation, the Paula Jones lawsuit and the Monica Lewinsky scandal — that led to the impeachment of President Bill Clinton 20 years ago.
