Infamous Us Presidential Controversies That Changed History
Warren Harding
The sordid tale of Warren G. Harding sounds like it belongs on a daytime soap rather than in the annals of U.S. history.
Harding was long-rumored to have been engaged in several affairs, including one with a woman named Nan Britton, during his presidency. Furthermore, Harding claimed that she gave birth to his child.
Harding died while in office in 1923, and many thought his wife had poisoned him in retaliation for his affair, though it was actually a heart attack.
Years later, DNA testing concluded that Harding had in fact fathered Britton’s child.
