ABC Confirms Second Dorm Visit by FoleyDisgraced former Rep. Mark Foley (R-FL) paid a visit to the House page dormitory in 2000, according to ABC News. A drunken visit to the dorm by Foley in 2002 or 2003 had been reported last week. Writes ABC’s Rhonda Schwartz:
A staff supervisor at the dorm for congressional pages intervened when former Rep. Mark Foley (R-FL) tried to pay the teens a nighttime visit in the summer of 2000, ABC News has learned.
The pages were having an informal “mixer” party in their dorm at the Tip O’Neil building behind the Capitol, according to a former page who was 17 at the time.
“It was a beautiful summer evening, and I recall Mr. Foley arriving in his blue Series 3 BMW convertible about 9:30 at night,” the former page said. “Several of us saw him and went outside to chat.”
A supervisor saw the kids going towards Foley’s car and “shooed” them back inside, Schwartz reports.
