| Post subject: State Department official resigns over 'D.C. madam' |
| Quote: |
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A top State Department official resigned Friday after revealing to ABC News that he had been a client of the alleged "D.C. madam's" escort service.
A State Department official, on condition of anonymity, confirmed to CNN the reason for Randall Tobias' departure as director of U.S. Foreign Assistance and administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development.
The State Department said that Tobias, 65, resigned for "personal reasons."
ABC reported on its Web site that Tobias, 65, said Thursday that he had used Deborah Jeane Palfrey's escort service "to have gals come over to the condo to give me a massage." He told the network that there was no sex involved.
ABC said Tobias' private cell phone number was one of thousands listed on documents that Palfrey handed over to the network, which plans to air a report on the documents on the "20/20" television news program next week.
Two weeks ago, Palfrey revealed the name of another purported client in a court document.
In a motion filed with the court regarding her counsel, Palfrey named Harlan K. Ullman as "one of the regular customers" of her business. Ullman denied the allegation. (Full story)
Ullman is one of the leading theorists behind the "shock and awe" military strategy that was associated with the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
Palfrey is fighting a federal racketeering and money-laundering indictment. Her attorneys have been fighting in court over documents that contain personal information about her clients.
U.S. District Judge Gladys Kessler has restricted access to the documents, but Palfrey's attorneys say the order applies to the originals of the documents, not to copies.
Government prosecutors say the company, Pamela Martin and Associates, was actually a prostitution ring that Palfrey operated in the Washington area for 13 years. Palfrey denies that her business provided sexual services to its customers.
CNN's John King and Brianna Keilar contributed to this report |
I definitely do not believe his comment that he only got a massage from the girls.
But she he really need to resign for this? |

In all countries government official's need a holier than thou image... and if there is even the slightest possibility that he engaged in sexual activities then he would have been pressured to quit the post |
