(but only,he need hardly have said,if she denied a sexual relationship),and he reminded her of their "cover story"for her frequent trips to Oval Office-that she was just delivering documents. Two days after discussing the matter with Clinton,Lewinsky received a subpoena to appear for a deposition in January 1998.She called Vernon Jordan,who again met with her and referred her to an attorney,who proceeded to draft an affidavit that reflected her denial of any sexual involvement with the President Just after Christmas,Lewinsky spoke again with Clinton,raising her concern that the subpoena had requested that she bring to the deposition any gifts--and there were many- that she had received from him.Although Clinton apparently informed Lewinsky that she was obligated to give the lawyers for Jones any gifts in her possession,a call came later that day from Currie,indicating that she understood Lewinsky had some items she'd like to give her for safekeeping.(Currie,in her testimony,disagreed with Lewinsky's version of events and claimed that the call about the presents came from Lewinsky,not her.Currie drove to Lewinsky's home and carted away a box of Clinton gifts and put them under her bed. In early January 1998,Lewinsky signed an affidavit,with the intent of filing it for the Jones case,claiming her relationship with the President was non-sexual.The day after Lewinsky showed the affidavit to Vernon Jordan,Jordan made a call to Ronald Perelman,a friend and member of the Board of Directors of Revlon,encouraging him to hire Lewinsky.The job offer from Revlon came just two days later. Linda Tripp Gets Involved The source of the information that put Monica Lewinsky's name on the deposition list for the Jones case was Linda Tripp.Tripp had served in the Bush White House,and was held over in her job when Clinton became president in 1993.Tripp came to despise Clinton.In 1996,when she considered how to expose what she considered to be West Wing scandals,she contacted a conservative literary agent and self-described Clinton-hater,Lucianne Goldberg.Goldberg urged Tripp to write an expose',but at that time Tripp's concern with keeping her job caused her to reject the suggestion. Tripp's name came to public attention in August 1997 when it appeared in a Newsweek article in which she recalled running into a White House volunteer,Kathleen Willey,shortly after Willey had been kissed and fondled by Clinton in his private office.(Willey,according to Tripp, was"happy and joyful"and the incident was"not a case of sexual harassment.")Paula Jones's lawyers,of course,took note of Tripp's account--and undoubtedly determined at that time to add Tripp to their list of potential witnesses. Months before the Willey story broke,however,Tripp learned from her then-friend,Monica Lewinsky,that she was having an affair with the President.Tripp told the reporter for Newsweek, Michael Isikoff,when he approached her to ask about Willey's encounter with Clinton that the better story involved a White House intern,who she left unnamed.Tripp,partly for her own self-defense and partly out of a desire to damage the President's reputation,began secretly taping（but only, he need hardly have said, if she denied a sexual relationship）, and he reminded her of their "cover story" for her frequent trips to Oval Office——that she was just delivering documents.
