Senator Ensign: "I did Nothing Wrong

Posted on August 19, 2009 by Tim Titolo

This just in from the Associated Press:

Nevada Sen. John Ensign says his affair with a friend's wife was different from former President Bill Clinton's affair because Clinton committed a felony when he lied about it to a grand jury.

The Nevada Republican told The Associated Press on Wednesday: "I haven't done anything legally wrong."

Ensign made the remarks before he was introduced to a standing ovation from about 100 people at a Chamber of Commerce luncheon in rural Fernley. He opened his speech by acknowledging what called a "distraction." He says he made a big mistake, is sorry and intends to work hard to win back the trust of Nevadans.

It was Ensign's first public appearance in the state since acknowledging in June that he had a monthslong extramarital with former campaign aide Cynthia Hampton.
