Ensign Set To Break Silence On Affair

Ensign Set To Break Silence On Affair

Sen. John Ensign (R-NV) is set to break his silence this morning on his affair with the wife of a former top staffer, and the help he provided for the couple once the affair was discovered, which may have involved violating lobbying and campaign-finance rules.

Since admitting to the affair this summer, Ensign has said almost nothing about it. But he’ll discuss it at 8am PST, in an interview with Las-Vegas-based News Radio 840 KXNT. We’ll be listening, so stay tuned….
