Tripp: I’ll Subpoena Everybody

Monday, June 5, 2000
Her indictment for illegally taping her phone conversations with
Monica Lewinsky now dismissed, Linda Tripp plans to break her
long silence and tell the world what she knows.
And she knows plenty, especially about the death of the late
Vincent Foster. As the last person in the White House to see
Foster alive before his body was found later that day at Ft.
Marcy Park, Tripp said he left his office without his briefcase,
contradicting counsel office aide Tom Castleton who had claimed
that Foster taken the briefcase with him The brief case magically
reappeared in his office after his death.
As reported in NewsMax.com on July, 1998, Tripp, along with
Foster's personal secretary Deborah Gorham, had a front seat view
of the chaos in the counsel's office when a note alleged to be
written by Foster materialized in his briefcase; a development
used by the White House to support the claim that his death had
been a suicide.
When Patsy Thomasson and Bernard Nussbaum (Tripp's boss) had
searched Foster's briefcase on July 20 and 22 respectively, the
note wasn't there. Tripp and Gorham knew something was up when,
on July 26, Nussbaum's assistant Cliff Sloan asked Tripp for a
typewriter despite the fact that the counsel's office was chock
full of computer word processors. No typewriter was readily
available, Tripp explained. On the morning of the 27th, Nussbaum
questioned Gorham about whether she had noticed anything in
Foster's briefcase. Gorham described Nussbaum's grilling as "very
forceful and adamant," saying the meeting felt like an
"interrogation."
Unbeknownst to Tripp and Gorham, 27 shreds of paper the White
House would claim was Foster's suicide note had been "discovered"
in the briefcase the day before. Nussbaum waited thirty hours
before informing the Park Police on the 28th. It was a
handwritten note with no traceable fingerprints. Investigators
working for Robert Fiske and Kenneth Starr have ruled the note
was authentic. But three independent handwriting experts, one of
worldwide renown, determined in 1995 that it was a forgery.
``If I continue to remain silent, they win,'' Tripp told an
audience in South Carolina, according to the Associated Press.
Tripp has shied away from public appearances, leaving it up to
her attorneys to speak for her, but she’s now ready to have her
say.
``I am not a public person. All this is very difficult for me,''
she said.
First on her agenda is her lawsuit against the White House and
the Defense Department, charging that her privacy rights were
violated when officials leaked information about her from
confidential government records to reporters.
A Pentagon inspector general's report concluded that Defense
Department spokesman Kenneth Bacon and his then-chief deputy,
Clifford H. Bernath violated Tripp's privacy rights by providing
information from her security clearance records to Jane Mayer, a
reporter for The New Yorker magazine.
Although the inspector general found that both Bacon and Bernath
broke the law the Justice Department refused to prosecute the
men. Bacon got off with a reprimand from Defense Secretary
William Cohen.
Tripp however, vowed she will not let the matter rest.
``In the next few weeks, we will be subpoenaing every national
name you can imagine in the White House,'' she said. ``It really
is up to the civil process to hold them accountable.''
