Linda Tripp Biography – Linda Tripp Wiki

Linda Tripp born Linda Rose Carotenuto was an American civil servant known as the whistleblower in the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal of 1998. Tripp was working in the Pentagon when she befriended Monica Lewinsky, a former White House intern who was having an affair with President Bill Clinton.

She secretly recorded her conversations with Lewinsky about the affair, and then handed over the recordings to special prosecutor Ken Starr. The recordings were part of independent counsel Kenneth Starr’s investigation into Clinton, which produced a 453-page report that determined the grounds for impeachment.

Clinton denied the affair when it was exposed in January 1998. He also denied the affair in a sworn deposition, leading to his impeachment by the House in December 1998, on charges of obstruction of justice and perjury. In 1999, he was acquitted by the Senate.

Tripp was indicted on criminal wiretapping charges in Maryland for making the tapes, but the case was eventually dropped.
