GOP Lawmaker Sidesteps Questions Over Affair

Rep. William Timmons (R-SC) “went on conservative talk radio to address rumors circling for weeks that he had an extramarital affair and abused his power as a congressman to further it,” the Charleston Post & Courier reports.

Said Timmons: “My wife and I do not comment on our personal lives because they’re private, and they should remain that way.”

He added: “That said, we are experiencing challenges. We’re going through a difficult time. I regret anything I’ve ever done to let her down.”
