Monica Lewinsky

Monica Samille Lewinsky (born July 23, 1973) is a former White House intern with whom United States President Bill Clinton admitted to having had what he called an "inappropriate relationship" while she worked at the White House in 1995 and 1996. The affair and its repercussions, which included Clinton's impeachment, became known as the Lewinsky scandal.

Abstergo Industries used the media attention surrounding Lewinsky's affair with Clinton, as a means to distract the populace from the Templars' goals.
