 | | In 1995, Monica Lewinsky, a graduate of Lewis and Clark College, was hired to work as an intern at the White House during Clinton's first term. |
 | | As Lewinsky's relationship with the President became more distant and after she had left the White House to work at the Pentagon, Lewinsky confided details of her feelings and the President's behavior to her presumed friend and Defense Department co-worker Linda Tripp who was secretly recording their telephone conversations. |
 | | When Tripp discovered in January 1998 that Lewinsky had signed an affidavit denying the relationship in the Paula Jones case, she delivered the tapes to Kenneth Starr, the independent counsel who was investigating the president on various other matters including the Whitewater scandal, Filegate, and Travelgate. |
