No. Clinton was never charged with a crime. Nixon was pardoned about 1 month after he stepped down.

I looked it up and Clinton was impeached, but apparently he made some kind of deal with the DoJ to avoid any charges right before he left office. Huh I didn't know that >_>

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pardon_of_Richard_Nixon

The Ford White House considered a pardon of Nixon, but it would be unpopular in the country. Nixon, contacted by Ford emissaries, was initially reluctant to accept the pardon but then agreed to do so. Ford, however, insisted on a statement of contrition; Nixon felt he had not committed any crimes and should not have to issue such a document. Ford eventually agreed, and on September 8, 1974, he granted Nixon a "full, free, and absolute pardon" that ended any possibility of an indictment. Nixon then released a statement:
I was wrong in not acting more decisively and more forthrightly in dealing with Watergate, particularly when it reached the stage of judicial proceedings and grew from a political scandal into a national tragedy. No words can describe the depth of my regret and pain at the anguish my mistakes over Watergate have caused the nation and the presidency, a nation I so deeply love, and an institution I so greatly respect.[12][13][14]
