New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner on Tuesday apologized for new allegations of sexually explicit chats between him and a 22-year-old woman, acknowledging that some of the exchanges, published by the gossip site TheDirty.com, occurred after his resignation from Congress. 

“Some of these things happened before my resignation, some of them happened after, but the fact is that that was also the time that my wife and I were working through some things in our marriage,” Weiner said at a press conference in New York. “I’m glad these things are behind us. I know that this was a very public thing that we had happen to us. But by no means does it change the fundamentals of my feelings here, and that is that I want to bring my vision to the people of the city of New York. I hope they’re willing to still continue to give me a second chance.”

“This is entirely behind me,” he added.
