CREW Raps Hastert On Fossella
The Citizens For Responsibility and Ethics in Washington became the latest today to call for Rep. Vito Fossella's immediate resignation and is also seeking an investigation into his potential use of public funds to conduct his extramarital affair.
CREW Executive Director Melanie Sloan deemed it "reprehensible" that Fossella only admitted his "two families" in the wake of his drunk driving arrest. She also slammed former House Speaker Dennis Hastert, saying he was "apparently aware of the affair."
"While in office, Mr. Hastert extolled his party’s devotion to family values," Sloan said. "But when did covering up your colleague’s adulterous affair become a family value?"
"We still may not know the full extent of Mr. Fossella’s wrongdoing. Were campaign contributions or congressional funds diverted to help finance his additional family? While this may be nothing more than a private tragedy, this situation clearly calls for a thorough investigation by federal authorities.”
