Sources: Spitzer investigated for link to prostitution ring
WASHINGTON (CNN) — Federal prosecutors have unsealed an affidavit that details a rendezvous in a Washington hotel room last month between a prostitute and a client who a source tells CNN was New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer.
The affidavit does not mention Spitzer by name, but a source with knowledge of the case said the subject identified as Client-9 is the governor.
Spitzer took office in January 2007 after serving eight years as the state’s attorney general, when he rose to national prominence as a hard-charging prosecutor.
He has not been charged.
Spitzer, who is married with three children, went before reporters Monday to confess to an undisclosed personal indiscretion, saying he had acted “in a way that violates my obligations to my family, that violates my or any sense of right and wrong.”
