Why Sen. Ensign Really Quit: Other Women, At Least One More Staffer
Shocka!
WHY SEN. ENSIGN REALLY QUIT (Hint: It wasn’t, as his statement claimed, because of concern about his family): N.Y. Times’ Eric Lipton reports the Nevada Republican was going to have to give sworn testimony about his sex scandal to the Senate Ethics Committee on May 4. His resignation takes effect May 3. What a guy!
—“Ensign bolted to avoid more public embarrassment,” by John Bresnahan and Manu Raju: “Ensign told associates that he was ‘100 percent certain’ the Ethics Committee would hold public hearings into the scandal … The ethics panel is still likely to issue a public report laying out its findings.”
Sources tell Playbook that Ensign knew he could face questions about OTHER WOMEN and at least one additional staffer.
