"Bill Clinton is involved in the Monica Lewinsky scandal"

Today in class we got one assignment each to write about in our blog, my task was; Bill Clinton is involved in Monica Lewinsky scandal.
Monica Lewinsky is an American woman who admitted to have an “improper relationship” with president Clinton when she worked at the White House in the periode from 1995-1996. The affair became known as the Lewinsky scandal.

In April 1996, Lewinsky's superiors moved Lewinsky from the White House to the Pentagon because they felt she was spending too much time around president Bill Clinton. Lewinsky confided in a co-worker named Linda Tripp about her relationship with the President. In 1997, Tripp began secretly recording their telephone conversations regarding the affair with Clinton. In January 1998 Tripp gave the tapes to the Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr and these tapes made him to investegate the case further. Noteworthy for its revelation of Tripp's motivations was her reporting of their conversations to the literary agent Lucianne Goldberg. Tripp also convinced Lewinsky to save the gifts that Clinton had given her during their affair, and not to dry clean what would later be infamously known as "the blue dress."

Clinton denied having had a sexual relationship with Lewinsky, and on January 26, 1998 he said the “famous” sentance “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky”, in a conference at the White House. Clinton also said, "there is not a sexual relationship, an improper sexual relationship or any other kind of improper relationship"which he defended as truthful on August 17, 1998, but under pressure from Starr, who, as Clinton learned, had obtained from Lewinsky a blue dress with Clinton's semen on it. Clinton admitted that he lied to the American people and that he had inappropriate intimate contact with Lewinsky. Clinton claimed that because certain acts were performed on him, not by him, he did not engage in sexual relations. Lewinsky's testimony to the Starr Commission, however, told that Clinton's claim of being totally passive was a lie.

Both Clinton and Lewinsky were called before a grand jury where Clinton testified via closed-circuit television ans Lewinsky in person. Given an opportunity to say some final words on the matter, Lewinsky told the jury, "I hate Linda Tripp."
