27 Photos from the Monica Lewinsky Scandal
Content: This came after Lewinsky had been moved to the East Executive Building as a Social Office intern under Hillary Clinton. In January 1998, Tripp found out that Lewinsky had sworn an Affidavit in the Paula Jones case, a separate sex scandal involving Bill Clinton, denying any improper relationship with the President. Tripp gave the phone conversations she recorded to the Independent Prosecutor Kenneth Starr, who was investigating Clinton on the Whitewater Scandal and the FBI files controversy because Lewinsky attempted to persuade Tripp to commit perjury in the Paula Jones case. After Clinton stated that he â€˜did not have sexual relations with that woman,’ further investigation lead to perjury charges and to his impeachment in 1998. Clinton was eventually acquitted on all impeachment charges of perjury and obstruction of justice in a 21-day Senate trial.
