The latest relevation came from a former porn actress who exchanged emails and messages over Twitter with Weiner. She said Wednesday he asked her to lie about their interactions, while a growing chorus of legislators pressed for his resignation as the scandal enveloping the congressman enters its third week.
Nightclub dancer Ginger Lee is the latest in a series of women who said they received sexually charged messages from the seven-term congressman. The scandal began when Weiner posted a picture of his underwear-clad crotch on Twitter, then lied about it and said his account was hacked.
Lee, from La Vergne, Tenn., said she and Weiner exchanged about 100 emails between March and June, after Lee posted a supportive statement about the congressman on her blog. He then contacted her on Twitter, Lee said. They mostly discussed politics, but he would often turn the conversation to sex, she said.
"'I have wardrobe demands too. I need to highlight my package,"' Weiner wrote Lee, in an email read aloud at the news conference by Lee's attorney, Gloria Allred.
