Former prostitute’s son claims to be lovechild of Bill Clinton and accuses Hillary of ‘banishing’ him
Danney Williams, 30, launches renewed bid to be recognised as the son of the former US president
THE son of a prostitute is pushing his claim to be the lovechild of former US President Bill Clinton.
Danney Williams has been claiming for some years that the husband of the Democrat presidential candidate Hillary is his father.
But Williams has launched a fresh bid to have himself recognised as a relative of the US political dynasty.
The 30-year-old started a Facebook page in December, under the new name of Danney Williams-Clinton in order to seize their attention.
The page also claims Hillary “banished” him when she found out what her husband had done, saying she "slammed the door in [Danney's aunt's] face" when she took him to the Clinton home as a child.
Various posts went on to dispute the accuracy of a reported DNA test in the 1990s and allege a conspiracy to cover up the truth.
The page is also filled with pictures of Danney paired with images of Clinton as a young man.
Many of the snaps come with messages pointing out the alleged likeness and underlining Danney's claims.

Danney’s claims first came to light in 1992 when Clinton was running for president.
The Globe interviewed his mother – former sex worker Bobbie Ann Williams – who told how she allegedly met Clinton when he was out jogging in 1984.
She claimed he began paying her for sex regularly after the meeting in Little Rock, Arkansas – sometimes alone, and sometimes with other women at the same time.
But when she got pregnant, she says he denied it was anything to do with him.
She told the paper: “He rubbed my big belly and said: ‘Girl, that can’t be my baby.’
“But I knew it was. I just had this kind of woman’s feeling that this was his child.”
Bobbie also claimed Clinton was her only white client at the time, making her more certain the ex-president was Danney’s father because of her son's light skin colour.
An eventual DNA test conducted by Star magazine in 1999 concluded that the pair couldn’t be related.
But there have since been questions about the precision of the test.
And with Clinton once again back in the public eye as he helps his wife in her campaign to win the White House, the issue has found its way back into the limelight.
In an interview with The Globe in 2013, Danney said: “I read he doesn’t have long to live and I want to meet him face to face before he dies.
“I just want to shake his hand and say ‘Hi Dad’ before he dies. I’d like to have a relationship with Chelsea, too. She’s my half-sister.”
