The latest news regarding Sen. John Ensign (R-NV) has been that of a Senator trying to get back to doing the people’s business — and not wanting to answer any further questions about his recent admission of an extramarital affair:
⢠“I said what I was going to say last week,” he told the Politico.
⢠“I have no more other comments to make,” he told The Hill. “I have nothing further to add.”
⢠Ensign will address the Senate GOP at their weekly lunch today. As Roll Call points out, it’s become something of a regular ritual for the caucus to hear a scandal-plagued member having to explain himself — previous examples include, David Vitter, Larry Craig and Ted Stevens.
⢠Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington has announced that it will file an ethics complaint regarding Ensign’s hiring practices, seeing as how his ex-mistress had been a campaign staffer, and her husband was a top Senate staffer — and their employment ended after the affair was over.
