Tripp To Testify In FBI Files Flap Lawsuit

Linda Tripp

WASHINGTON (AllPolitics, Aug. 25) -- Fresh from her turn as a star witness in the Monica Lewinsky case, Linda Tripp has been subpoenaed to testify in a civil lawsuit challenging the White House's use of FBI files.

According to the director of Judicial Watch, Larry Klayman, Tripp will give a deposition Sept. 4 about allegations that she witnessed information from FBI files being inputted into a White House computer database.

Tripp worked at the White House counsel's office until 1994 when she transferred to the Pentagon. It was at the Pentagon where she met and befriended Lewinsky. Tripp is still employed by the Defense Department, although she is works at home.

"Mrs. Tripp has material relevant evidence about the misuse of FBI files in the White House counsel's office specifically and the White House generally," Klayman said.

Judicial Watch has filed a lawsuit against the Clinton Administration claiming that it overstepped its authority by collecting FBI files on former Republican appointees.

The watchdog group has filed several suits against the administration in recent years.

Tripp triggered Independent Counsel Ken Starr's current investigation into President Bill Clinton by turning over to Starr secret tape recording she made of her conversations with Lewinsky, a former White House intern.

The longtime government employee was also the one who encountered former White House volunteer Kathleen Willey outside the Oval Office looking disheveled with smeared lipstick after meeting with the president. Willey alleges that Clinton groped her during that meeting.
