The Hunting of the President is a 2004 English language film about Bill Clinton. Clinton and his wife Hillary Clinton appear in archived footage. The film is based on the book of the same name, written by investigative journalists Joe Conason and Gene Lyons, and published by Thomas Dunne in 2000.

The book and movie explore Clinton friends Jim McDougal and Susan McDougal, White House counsel Webster Hubbell and Arkansas Governor Jim Guy Tucker. Interviewed for the book and movie, Susan McDougal discusses legal threats from the independent counsel in order to pressure her to implicate the Clintons on doing something illegal. She told the independent counsel the Clintons did nothing wrong, and the independent counsel said they had statements prepared and she simply had to agree with the pre-written claims.
