The 30-second clip appears to recreate Tripp’s recorded private conversations with Lewinsky as Paulson and Feldstein can be heard in character.
“The president kissed me,” Feldstein says as Lewisnky. “Tell me everything,” responds Paulson as Tripp.
The conversation intensifies with mentions of the infamous “blue dress” as the two women are seen walking towards each other down a White House corridor. The video ends as they meet face-to-face and Feldstein’s Lewinsky says, “my life is over.”
Based on the book "A Vast Conspiracy: The Real Story of the Sex Scandal That Nearly Brought Down a President" by Jeffrey Toobin, “Impeachment: American Crime Story” is a 10-episode limited series that will look at the Clinton scandal through the women at the center of it.
In addition to Paulson and Feldstein, the all-star cast includes Clive Oven as Bill Clinton, Edie Falco as Hillary Clinton, Annaleigh Ashford as Paula Jones, Billy Eichner as The Drudge Report founder Matt Drudge, and Colbie Smulders as Ann Coulter.
Feldstein and Lewinsky also serve as producers on the project which is spearheaded by television mogul Ryan Murphy.
“Impeachment” is the third season in the “American Crime Story” franchise and comes three years after the “The Assassination of Gianni Versace.” The 2018 series centered on the murder of the Italian fashion designer, played by Edgar Ramirez, by serial killer Andrew Cunanan, portrayed by Darren Criss.
