Danney Williams, Bill Clinton's 'Twitter Verified Son,' Slams 'Father' In New Post
Danney Williams slammed his "father" — former President Bill Clinton — as he introduced his own son Dillion "Dill" on Twitter. Williams has claimed to be Clinton's son, and shown in a picture posted on the social media platform Tuesday on a motorcycle with Dill: "I always promised myself that I'll be better than my father @billclinton."
Williams has been on a campaign to verify his identity as the son of the former president, which has been bolstered by some users on Twitter who recognize similarities between Clinton and Williams.
Earlier this month, Williams was verified by Twitter as Clinton's son, although Clinton himself has never acknowledged or claimed that Williams was his son. His preferred name on Facebook is Danney Williams-Clinton.
The original claim that Williams was Clinton's illegitimate son came out in the early 90s when an Alabama sex worker, Bobbie Ann Williams, alleged that the former president had sex with her while he was governor of the state, resulting in Danney's birth in 1985.

The story originated in the tabloids during the 90s — first in an interview with The Globe in 1992, and reported by The Daily Mail in October 2016.
She says Clinton went out for a run one day in Little Rock, when he jogged by her housing project and introduced himself to her. She was 24 years old at the time.
A few days later, Clinton allegedly jogged by the housing project again and paid Bobbie $200 for her to have sex with him behind some bushes.
After that, Bobbie says that she and Clinton regularly had sex, sometimes alone, sometimes with other female partners.
The story was resurrected during the 2016 presidential campaign when Bobbie Ann showed up to Hillary Clinton’s campaign events and tried and get an audience with the former president. The earlier reports said that she was certain that Clinton was Danney's father because he was light skinned and the former president was her only white client.
In the days before the election, Williams held a press conference and made an appeal on YouTube to President Obama for her husband to submit a blood sample.
"I am the son of former President Bill Clinton. I am reaching out to you because I know you can understand me," Williams said. "You also grew up without a father, and you are our first black president."
"You have supported Black Lives Matter and My Brother’s Keeper, so I know you believe that my life matters," he said before proceeding to plead for a meeting with his "father."

In 1999. Time magazine reported with the headline "Scandal Interruptus" that Bobbie Ann and her then-13-year-old son took a paternity test and it came up negative.
"Using the Starr Report’s FBI analysis of Clinton’s DNA as its reference, Star paid former prostitute Bobbie Ann Williams, the source for the Globe article, and her 13-year-old son for their story and blood samples."
"There was no match. Not even close,” says the source from the UK tabloid, Star.
