She had to. As I recall, she was getting drawn into testifying for the Paula Jones trial. Why? Because her testimony would be used to establish a lascivious "pattern of behavior" by Clinton. I think it was Newsweek's Isikoff who was interviewing someone and it came out that when Clinton made his imfamous pass at Kathleen Willey, Tripp was the first one that Kathleen Willey encountered after Willey left Clinton's office that day and Willey told Tripp what had just happened.
Tripp was going to be subpoenaed to testify and came under pressure and threats "higher up", shall we say? I think some of this was transmitted to her via Monica. Anyway, Tripp recorded Monica in order to protect herself.
