I headed to my bedroom in the East Wing. Shortly thereafter, my phone rang and it was the AF-1 presidential pilot. ‘Buzz, we have a problem,’ he said.”
Patterson stated that the pilot informed him of an incident in which President Clinton had allegedly “cornered a female AF-1 steward in the galley and molested her.”
The stewardess, a married Air Force staff sergeant with children, was described by Patterson as someone he knew personally and considered “super sweet.” If the alleged assault were brought forward, it could have potentially involved military legal proceedings,
OB-GYN liability concerns due to unwanted physical contact, and possibly even emotional trauma evaluations covered under military health insurance or private trauma recovery programs.
He recounted the pilot telling him that the woman did not want to come forward publicly—likely to avoid public scrutiny and to protect her mental wellness, family, and military benefits package.
“She Didn’t Want to Be Another ‘Bimbo’”
“He told me that she didn’t want to be another ‘bimbo,’” Patterson wrote, referencing other high-profile allegations that surfaced during Clinton’s presidency.
