Arkansas Development Finance Authority Nichols was hired by
Governor of Arkansas Bill Clinton in 1988 as marketing director for the
Arkansas Development Finance Authority. His charges did not get much attention at the time, Flowers alleged a prolonged affair with Bill Clinton and played tapes of telephone conversations she had with him, leading to an early crisis in the Clinton campaign, and an appearance on January 26 on
60 Minutes with
Steve Kroft. But he said in 2015 that he had been taking
painkillers when he made the 2013 remark and he did not mean it. Nichols again received media attention in context of the
Hillary Clinton 2016 presidential campaign. In early 2015, Nichols said that despite not liking Hillary Clinton, he might support her candidacy because he believed she was tough enough to combat
Islamic terrorism. == References ==
