“I don’t know myself if I can survive this heartache. Please pray for a painless process for the strongest woman I will ever know in my entire lifetime.”
Tripp is infamously known as the whistleblower who recorded her conversations with Monica Lewinsky about her affair with former president Bill Clinton and turned them over to former Independent Counsel Ken Starr. Clinton’s denial of the affair led to his impeachment after a perjury charge in 1998.
