Monica Lewinsky

Available for over a year

In 1995, Monica Lewinsky was an intern in the White House. In 1998, Linda Tripp, a former co-worker, released secretly recorded phone conversations with Lewinsky, in which the intimate details of an illicit affair between Lewinsky and President Bill Clinton were discussed. This forced Clinton, in public and under oath, to deny a sexual relationship. This economy with the truth led to his impeachment. One of the most memorable quotes from the 90s is “I did not have sexual relations with that woman”. But what was ‘that woman’s’ version? Monica Lewinsky has been portrayed as a predatory valley girl and a naïve intern exploited by her boss. In an exclusive interview, she talks to Jenni Murray about the affair which nearly brought down a president.
