Monica Lewinsky
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 鈥淚 did not have sexual relations with that woman鈥. But what was 鈥榯hat woman鈥檚鈥 version? Monica Lewinsky has been portrayed as a predatory valley girl and a na茂ve intern exploited by her boss. In an exclusive interview, she talks to Jenni Murray about the affair which nearly brought down a president.
