   NEW YORK (AP) — Lucianne Goldberg, a literary agent and key   
   figure in the 1998 impeachment of President Bill Clinton over   
   his affair with Monica Lewinsky, has died at the age of 87.   
      
   Goldberg’s son, political commentator and author Jonah Goldberg,   
   posted Thursday on Twitter that his mother died Wednesday at her   
   home. He did not give a cause of death.   
      
   Lucianne Goldberg, a longtime conservative activist whose agency   
   specialized in right-wing books, gained national prominence for   
   advising her friend Linda Tripp to secretly tape Tripp’s   
   conversations with Lewinsky, a former White House intern who had   
   been involved in a sexual relationship with Clinton.   
      
   Tripp’s 20 hours of tapes of her conversations with Lewinsky   
   were crucial to special prosecutor Kenneth Starr’s investigation   
   of Clinton over his affair with Lewinsky. Clinton was impeached   
   by the House of Representatives on Dec. 19, 1998 for denying   
   under oath that he had had sex with Lewinsky, but he was   
   acquitted by the Senate.   
      
   A longtime Clinton foe, Goldberg had met Tripp while working on   
   a proposal for a book on the death of Vince Foster, a Clinton   
   aide whose suicide sparked conservative conspiracy theories. It   
   was Goldberg who told her friend the recordings would be legal —   
   they weren’t — and then encouraged her to break Lewinsky’s trust   
   and give them to Starr. Goldberg later said she was glad Clinton   
   had been caught “at something.”   
      
   Goldberg set up her literary agency to promote books others   
   would have shunned. The New York Times described her as “an   
   agent with a taste for right-wing, tell-all attack books” in an   
   article published amid the fallout from the Lewinsky tapes.   
      
   Goldberg also wrote racy novels and worked as a ghostwriter for   
   celebrities.   
      
   Her earlier career included the 1970 co-founding of a group   
   called the Pussycat League that campaigned against feminism and   
   the Equal Rights Amendment.   
      
   Goldberg was born Lucianne Steinberger in Boston. Her first   
   marriage, to William Cummings, ended in divorce. Her second   
   husband, newspaper executive Sidney Goldberg, died in 2005.   
      
   Her survivors include Jonah Goldberg. Another son, Joshua   
   Goldberg, died in 2011.
