as to the timing on this.

The wedding was 7 years ago.
The original story was over a year ago.
The refutation to the accusation referenced in the tweet is a year old

I don't recall seeing a current story on this subject yet here is former President Clinton tweeting this and drawing national attention.

Politicians rarely take steps like this because they have nothing better to do today which begs the question: "why now?".
