Monica Lewinsky
Monica Lewinsky, American businesswoman who was caught up in an American political investigation when she was an intern who worked at the White House.
She graduated with a Psychology degree from the Lewis and Clark College in 1995 and afterwards she worked at the White House during the term of Bill Clinton.
There she had a short-term sexual relationship with the President.
President Clinton and Monica Lewinsky both denied that the relationship involved sexual intercourse. President Clinton later provided what was at least misleading (and which a court ruled was perjurious) testimony on the relationship to a civil court that been initiated for an unrelated investigation, which led to his impeachment by the House of Representatives. This remains a controversial topic in America.
By her own account Monica Lewinsky survived the intense media attention by knitting.
She now runs her own business, selling her own brand of handbags.
