Hillary Clinton's first grab for power in the White House was when she moved against the $31 million budget and staff positions in the White House Travel Office was. Hillary trumped up some alleged mismanagement and ordered the 7 career staffers fired in order to take over their budget and stuff the positions with her surrogates and cronies. The professional career staffers, some who had served presidents of both parties for nearly 30 years, sued to fight the Clinton slander machine, preserve their reputations, and most importantly get their jobs back. Within the first hundred days of the new presidency, America was introduced to its new First Lady whom investigators determined, had given "factually false" testimony<ref name="cnn101800">[http://archives.cnn.com/2000/ALLPOLITICS/stories/10/18/travel.office "Ray: First lady's answers false in travel office probe, but no prosecution"], [[CNN]], October 18, 2000.</ref> under oath when questioned by the GAO, the Independent Counsel, and Congress.

White House underlings wrote a memo saying, "we both know that there would be hell to pay" if "we failed to take swift and decisive action in conformity with the First Lady's wishes." This memo contradicted the First Lady's previous statements in the GAO investigation, that she had played no role in the firings and had not consulted with her [[Hollywood]] friends beforehand.

Former [[Nixon]] speechwriter and ''New York Times'' columnist [[William Safire]], who had endorsed Bill Clinton in 1992, wrote that many Americans were coming to the "sad realization that our First Lady—a woman of undoubted talents who was a role model for many in her generation—is a congenital liar."
