Longtime conservative activist Lucianne Goldberg, whose company specialized in right-wing literature, rose to national prominence for suggesting to her friend Linda Tripp that she secretly record Tripp’s conversations with Monica Lewinsky, a former White House intern who had an extramarital affair with Clinton.
The 20 hours of tapes Tripp made of Lewinsky’s discussions with her were essential to Kenneth Starr, a special prosecutor, looking into Clinton’s relationship with Lewinsky.
On December 19, 1998, the House of Representatives impeached Clinton for lying under oath about having sex with Monica Lewinsky; nevertheless, the Senate found him not guilty.

Who was Lucianne Goldberg?
American author and literary agent Lucianne Goldberg (née Steinberger; born April 29, 1935; died October 26, 2022) also went by the pen name Lucianne Cummings.
She was said to as one of the “essential characters” in the impeachment of President Clinton in 1998 because she gave Linda Tripp, Monica Lewinsky’s confidante, the contentious advice to record Monica’s phone calls about their relationship.
For the Starr investigation, the 20-hour tape was essential. She was the mother of Joshua Goldberg, a Republican candidate for the New York City Council, and Jonah Goldberg, a conservative political commentator.
Early Life & Career
Her parents, Dr. Raymond Leonard and Lucy Jane (née Moseley) von Steinberger welcomed her into the world as Lucianne Steinberger in Boston, Massachusetts. She was raised in Alexandria, Virginia, a suburb of Washington, D.C., where her mother practiced physiotherapy and her father worked as a government physicist.
She attended high school in Alexandria but dropped out at 16 to start a job. After three years of marriage, she divorced William Cummings, the man she had fallen in love with in high school.
While still in high school, Goldberg began her writing career at The Washington Post at a fairly young age. Goldberg decided to apply for the position of press assistant in Lyndon Johnson’s unsuccessful 1960 presidential campaign.
She was given a job at the Democratic National Committee after John F. Kennedy secured the Democratic nomination, and then she was given a seat on Kennedy’s Inaugural Committee.
Her name does not appear on any staff records, even though she claimed to have been on Kennedy’s White House staff, according to The Washington Post.
She responded by stating that she first worked at the National Press Building performing public relations before moving on to the Old Executive Office Building to conduct opposition research.
