Tripp appeals for cash to help her get a job
By David Usborne in New York
23 August 2001
Linda Tripp, the former Pentagon official whose betrayal of Monica Lewinsky
blew the lid off former president Bill Clinton's intern sex scandal, is appealing
to Republicans to send her money and help her to get a job with President
Bush.
"I now find myself with no money for rent, transportation, food, heat and
utilities," she says in a mailing to so-called Republican allies.
Ms Tripp, who had revealed secret tapes she made of her conversations with
Ms Lewinsky, was fired from her job on President Clinton's last day in office.
She has been unemployed since then.
The letter alleges that a possible government post in Germany was
sabotaged when her foes publicised it in a military newspaper. "I felt there
was literally no place on earth where I could go to escape the long arm of the
vicious, vindictive Clinton machine," she said. Ms Tripp, who has a school-
age daughter, asks recipients to send between $20 and $1,000 (£15-£700) to
a defence fund set up in her name. She also asks them to sign a form letter
urging George Bush to give her a "meaningful position" in his administration.
"I never thought I would have to write and ask you for money while Bill Clinton
gets $100,000 to make a speech," she writes bitterly. She adds that while
friends had urged her cash in on her notoriety after the Lewinsky scandal
with a book, she had not done so.
The government, which is being sued by Ms Tripp, says that every political
appointee is expected to resign when a president leaves office. Ms Tripp did
not do that, officials have said, and for that reason she was fired.
