Monica Lewinsky Recordings With Bill Clinton Surface After 16 Years
Just when you thought that there was no way that the Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky affair had any more life left in it, new recordings have surfaced that shed new light on their relationship. There's no way Hillary is in a good mood this week.
A brand new tape that was sold to the National Enquirer (yes, we know, but it does appear to be legitimate) contains a four-minute recording of Lewinsky as she persistently attempts to seduce Clinton back in 1997. She does not waste any time in letting him know what her intentions are.
"Since I know you will be alone tomorrow evening, I have two proposals for you, neither of which is you not seeing me. I could take my clothes off and start...well...I know you wouldn't enjoy that? I hope to see you later and I hope you will follow my script and do what I want," Lewinsky was reported as saying in the recording.
The tapes were reportedly recorded back in November 1997, which would have been months after their last alleged tryst in March of 1997. In the tapes we can hear Lewinsky desperately doing everything she can to woo the president back into bed, though no indication is given that he intended to reciprocate anymore.
"And then that way we don't have to deal with the problem of me...of there being a record of me going upstairs and we can spend some time together and see a good movie," she said. "So I don't know, those are two proposals and you can't refuse me because I'm too cute and adorable and soon I won't be here anymore to pop over. ... I'm very persistent, but um... I really want to see you."
The tape recordings were sold by a cleaner hired by the friends of Lewinsky to help pick up her residence. He was instructed to destroy all evidence that may have exposed any indiscretions between her and the president, but instead he decided to hold onto the tapes and some letters of Lewinky's as well.
Those letters show just how much grief the former intern was going through when she finally realized that her fling with the president would not carry on forever. Though her naivety certainly shines through in the notes, one cannot help but feel a little bad for the then-24-year-old.
"It was so sad seeing you last night because I was so angry with you that you once again rejected me and yet, all I wanted was for everyone else in the room to disappear and for you to hold me," she wrote. "I loved you with all of my heart, Bill. For the life of me, I can't understand how you could be so kind and so cruel to me," read a heartbroken note by the former intern.
There has been no word yet from either Bill or Hillary Clinton's camp regarding these latest recordings to make their way into the public eye. It has already been rumored that the tapes may hurt Hillary's possible presidential run in 2016, though it is still far too early to say.
