Chelsea Clinton refuses question

On the campaign stump for her mother, democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, Chelsea Clinton gave a sharp response to a question related to the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

She was asked if she thought her mother's credibility was damaged by the scandal:

SOUNDBITE (English) CHELSEA CLINTON, DAUGHTER OF U.S. PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE HILLARY CLINTON, RESPONDING TO A STUDENT'S QUESTION ABOUT HILLARY CLINTON'S HANDLING OF BILL CLINTON'S RELATIONSHIP WITH MONICA LEWINSKY:

"Wow, you're the first person actually that's ever asked me that question in the, I don't know, maybe 70 college campuses that I've now been to and I do not think that's any of your business."

Chelsea was speaking at Butler University in Indiana, part of multi-college tour in support of her mother's campaign.

Former President Bill Clinton admitted to having a sexual relationship with intern Monica Lewinsky which led to impeachment hearings and a damaged legacy.
