Senator Ensign wants attention from affair to fade

By Staff, KTNV ABC, Channel 13

Some say one of the biggest scandals of the year was Senator John Ensign's affair with staffer Cynthia Hampton. A Senate Ethics Committee is reviewing whether Ensign acted improperly after helping Hampton's husband get a job as a lobbyist.

Senator Ensign said Thursday in the new year he's ready for the attention to fade off.

"I won't answer any of the questions because I am focused on doing my job. And all of that stuff will take care of itself over time and we said we will cooperate with any investigations but at this moment I'm just going to focus on being the best Senator I can be for my state," said Senator Ensign.
