Carrie Phillips
Carrie Phillips was the Monica Lewinsky of her day. She was a longtime mistress of President Warren G. Harding. But once the Republican Party got wind of the affair, she didn’t testify in court. Instead, she blackmailed party leaders for traveling money and a stipend for life in exchange for her silence. Carrie (and her husband) and President Harding (and his wife) continued to see each other socially and vacation together while Carrie and President Harding snuck off for secret trysts.
