DC Madam: Stay Tuned to ABC

Speaking outside after a court hearing this morning, the D.C. Madam, Jeane Palfrey, says she expects ABC News to track down more clients of her firm, who she says will serve as “potential witnesses for my defense.”

So who’s up next? ABC News — where Brian Ross and TPM alum Justin Rood are on the case — has Palfrey’s phone records for the past four years. This morning, they report that “also on Palfrey’s list of customers who could be potential witnesses are a Bush administration economist, the head of a conservative think tank, a prominent CEO, several lobbyists and a handful of military officials.”

Expect some of that to come out this Friday, during Palfrey’s star turn on 20/20.
