After being arrested last week in Virginia with a blood-alcohol level about twice the legal limit, Staten Island Republican Rep. Vito Fossella appears to have even more explaining to do.
The married father of three just admitted to having an out-of-wedlock daughter, from Liz Benjamin at the Daily Politics:
“I have had a relationship with Laura Fay, with whom I have a three year old daughter.”My personal failings and imperfections have caused enormous pain to the people I love and I am truly sorry.
“While I understand that there will be many questions, including those about my political future, making any political decisions right now are furthest from my mind.
“Over the coming weeks and months, I will to continue to do my job and I will work hard to heal the deep wounds I have caused.”
