Monica Lewinsky is a name the American public will never forget. And now 32 Monica Lewinsky items are up for auction, each of which was originally gifted by Monica to her former high-school teacher, Andy Bleiler, whom she had a 5-year affair with. These items became evidence in the Kenneth Starr investigation to impeach President Bill Clinton.
So does the Monica Lewinsky lot include the infamous stained blue dress, cigar and beret?
Sadly no.
You’ll remember the way this scandal, the most controversial personal scandal to ever hit the office of the presidency, dominated the news in 1998. It ended with the House of Representatives impeaching President Clinton. And today, Nate D. Sanders auction has a lot of Monica Lewinsky items up for sale.
Monica Lewinsky’s former lover Andy Bleiler turned over each of these items to Kenneth Starr for further investigation. That’s the provenance here.
“Items owned by Monica Lewinsky, especially relating to the Clinton scandal and Ken Starr investigation are exceedingly rare,” said Nate D. Sanders. “This is, to my knowledge, the only collection of this nature to come to light.”
Lot includes:
White House keepsakes, including a Bill Clinton typed letter signed on White House stationery and addressed to Mr. Bleiler per Lewinsky’s request, as well as photographs, handwritten personal letters by Lewinsky, and items of clothing gifted to Bleiler’s wife by Monica Lewinsky, including a black negligee. Letters are dated during the Lewinsky-Clinton affair with one handwritten letter signed by Monica: “…am I good at lying through my teeth or what…”
By the way, a few months after the Monica Lewinsky Lot was auctioned off, Hillary Clinton called her a really funny insult.
