It's important to me to tell what happened.

I don't know how people are going to take this.

I don't know what they're going to think after all these months and years.

Why have come forward?

A woman struggled about whether to come forward, about a traumatic event in her past.

Would anybody believe her if she did?

And why had she waited so long to tell her story?

She agonized and when she finally does talk, she makes explosive allegations about a sexual assault 20 years earlier.

The man that she says assaulted her, the sitting president of the United States, Bill Clinton.

The woman, of course, was one to eat a brawler.

And her story about being raped by Bill Clinton seems eerily familiar amid the swirl of allegations now facing President Trump's nominee to the Supreme Court, Brett Kavanaugh.

How did the media handle Brawler's story?

How did journalists assess her credibility?

And how was her story received by the public and by political partisans on both sides when it finally came out?

We'll discuss those issues and talk to a former Washington Post reporter who first investigated Brawler's account on today's very treasure.

I'm Michael Isikov, Chief Investigator correspondent for Yahoo News.

And I'm Dan Clyde, Editor-in-Chief of Yahoo News.

You know, Danny, I've been thinking a lot about the Brawler's story over the last couple of weeks as the women come forward making the allegations against Brett Kavanaugh.

And watch the way the media has reported on them.

And it's really an iri in a way that it echoes so much of the controversy that surrounded the publication and airing of Winita Brawler's account.

Yeah, absolutely. And I actually went back and I read some of the journalism from the time, both television and news page,

and newspapers, and there really are all sorts of parallels.
