As First Lady, Hillary led a task force to create a national healthcare system. The media would dub this HillaryCare and it was widely unpopular with the public. The secrecy of the Task Force was at issue in court cases which resulted in disclosures to comply with the law. Lacking public support and support from the Democrats in Congress, the proposal would become an embarrassing failure for the Clinton presidency. The Republicans won a landslide victory in 1994, taking over both Houses of Congress. This would spell the end of HillaryCare.
Hillary became the only First Lady to be subpoenaed in a court of law for her role in the Whitewater Scandal.

When the Clintons left the White House, they were accused of taking furniture that belonged not to them, but to the White House and the American people. Clinton spokespeople claimed that the movers "inadvertently" packed the wrong items. Most of the articles were quietly returned. <ref>"Clinton Shipped Furniture Year Ago," Washington Post, February 10, 2001.</ref>
