In a rare interview, Linda Tripp,\u00a0a pivotal figure in the Monica Lewinsky scandal,\u00a0revealed on Sunday it was common knowledge while she worked in the West Wing that Bill Clinton had affairs with \u201cthousands of women.\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Speaking on \u201cAaron Klein Investigative Radio,\u201d<\/a> Tripp for the first time divulged that she personally knew another White House staffer aside from Lewinsky who was also having an affair with Clinton. That unnamed staffer was mentioned by Tripp in various depositions but she has not spoken about it publicly.<\/p>\n

She charged that Hillary Clinton not only knew about her husband\u2019s exploits, \u201cShe made it her personal mission to disseminate information and destroy the women with whom he dallied.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tripp says she cringes at the sight of Clinton presenting herself as \u201ca champion of women\u2019s rights worldwide in a global fashion, and yet all of the women she has destroyed over the years to ensure her political viability continues is sickening to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tripp documented evidence of\u00a0Lewinsky\u2019s phone calls about her relationship with Bill Clinton and submitted the evidence to independent counsel Kenneth Starr, leading to the public disclosure of the affair. She explained to Klein that she did so because she believed her own life and Lewinsky\u2019s were in danger, saying that Lewinsky was threatening Clinton with outing the relationship.<\/p>\n

Tripp also used the interview to criticize what she says is the news media\u2019s unwillingness to investigate the Clintons. She singled out and thanked Matt Drudge of the Drudge Report<\/a>,\u00a0declaring that without him \u201cthings would have been very, very different.\u201d<\/p>\n

Drudge\u2019s website was the first media outlet to break the Lewinsky scandal after Newsweek sat on the story.<\/p>\n

Tripp had unique access to the Clintons because her office was directly adjacent to Hillary\u2019s second floor West Wing office for the entire time she served in the Clinton White House from 1993 to the summer of 1994 with the exception of the first three months of the Clinton administration, when she sat just outside the Oval Office.<\/p>\n

Tripp\u2019s nonpartisan position was a carryover from the George H. W. Bush administration in which she served.<\/p>\n
