Danney Williams
Danney Lee Williams Jr. (born December 7, 1985) is a man from Little Rock, Arkansas who claims to be the biological son of Bill Clinton, the former President of the United States. The claim was refuted by DNA testing. Background. Williams was born in 1985 to Danney Williams Sr. and Bobbie Ann Williams. The story came to notice in the late 1990s when reporting by "Newsmax" led by celebrity tabloid magazine "Star" to commission a paternity test prove whether Williams is actually Clinton's biological son. "Time" magazine cited "Star" on July 18, 1999 to say that there  was no match.<ref name="Sachs_1/9/1999"></ref> The story was revived in 2016 before the 2016 presidential election and pushed by a number of media outlets including "Newsmax", the "Drudge Report", as well as WorldNetDaily, and the "New York Daily News". Due to some uncertainties with the original test by "Star", Snopes concluded that the claim was unproven. "The Washington Post" stated that, while the test could not prove Clinton was the father, it did conclusively rule him out as the father. On October 19, 2016, Williams' lawyers announced their intentions to file a paternity suit to prove that Clinton's DNA  matched Williams'. Williams wrote to Monica Lewinsky asking for her dress in order to obtain a sample of Clinton's DNA. However, Lewinsky never replied to Williams. A partial analysis of Clinton's blood, and thus his DNA, was already part of the public record because of the Lewinsky affair investigation. Russian-funded Facebook advertisements prior to the 2016 presidential election included ads claiming that Williams was Clinton's son.
