WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. government will pay over half a million dollars to Linda Tripp, a central figure in the Monica Lewinsky scandal, as part of a settlement of lawsuits that accused U.S. officials of violating her privacy, court documents showed on Monday.
Tripp's secretly taped conversations with Lewinsky fueled the sex scandal that almost brought down former President Bill Clinton. Tripp transferred to a job at the Pentagon from the White House after news of her tape recordings became public.

The woman gives new meaning to the word "shameless". Nothing new there...
Should have been paying more attention at the time. I thought Tripp sought publicity.

Of all the characters who did what they could to destroy the Clinton Presidency, I find Tripp and her collaborator Goldberg the most egregious. They played Lewinsky like a piano; it was enough to make me feel sorry for that poor, deluded kid. Starr, the hypocritical Puritan born 300 years too late, couldn't help himself.
But Tripp--she was a piece of work, from start to finish.
I would have expected Americans to be more incensed about the charges of invasion of privacy by the U.S. government.
