Beyond these initial tasks, her main focus in the Administration was scandal defense. From Jennifer Flowers to Whitewater to the FBI file affair to the travel office firings to her Commodities Market winnings to the missing Rose Law Firm billing records to the Paula Jones scandal, she orchestrated the Administration's defense against scandal allegations. When the prosecutor whose appointment she had caused heard about the depositions in the Paula Jones case she had refused to settle, the Monica Lewinsky scandal eventuated. Her experience continued when her race for the Senate and its aftermath became, in turn, mired in scandal. The theft of White House gifts, almost $200,000 of which had to be returned, did nothing to endear her to the electorate.
