Full Front Page Story from London Telegraph:
Clinton 'moved ex-lover to the Pentagon'
By Ambrose Evans-Pritchard in Little Rock
A WHITE House aide was transferred abruptly to a job at the Defence Department after she was
named as a long-standing lover of President Clinton in Paula Jones's sexual harassment lawsuit, The
Telegraph has learned.
Robyn Dickey, the former White House Director of Special Projects and Special Needs, was
appointed chief of the protocol office at the Defence Department last November, days after her alleged
affair with Bill Clinton was raised in a deposition.
Mrs Dickey, a divorcee now aged 50, is a core member of the so-called Arkansas Group in
Washington. She was administrator of the governor's mansion in Little Rock in the mid-1980s, handled
finance for Mr Clinton's presidential campaign in 1992, and accompanied him to Washington after his
inauguration. Her daughter, Helen Dickey, was Chelsea Clinton's nanny and lived on the third floor of
the residence at the White House.
Sources familiar with the case have told The Telegraph that a former Arkansas state trooper, Douglas
"L D" Brown, testified to Paula Jones's lawyers that Mr Clinton had had a sexual relationship with Mrs
Dickey during the 1980s.
Mr Brown served as a member of the governor's security detail in the mid-1980s and was known as a
close friend and confidant of Mr Clinton. He later told the American Spectator magazine that he had
solicited more than 100 women for the governor - with mixed success.
The President's lawyer, Robert Bennett, was present at the deposition on Nov 13 last year. Four days
later, Mrs Dickey was transferred quietly to the Pentagon.
Monica Lewinsky, the former intern at the centre of the sex scandal in Washington, was also given a
job in the Pentagon as an assistant in the public affairs office.
Mrs Dickey's sudden transfer is likely to attract the attention of the independent counsel, Kenneth
Starr, who has already issued subpoenas for six depositions taken in the Paula Jones lawsuit.
