Didn't Bill Clinton make an announcement that they had found evidence of life on Mars, but it turned out to be far from conclusive?

Nope. Absolutely nothing on the Rovers is specifically designed to look for life. It's designed to look for evidence of past water.

Viking lander had Life Detection equipment on board. The experiments indicated the presence of life.
