WASHINGTON, Aug. 4 (UPI) -- E-mails obtained by The Las Vegas Sun show Sen. John Ensign's top aides at the National Republican Senatorial Committee knew last summer about his affair.
Ensign, R-Nev., acknowledged in June he had had a relationship with Cindy Hampton, whose husband, Doug, was both a close friend and a senior employee of Ensign's. The senator publicly confessed to the affair after he learned Doug Hampton had approached Fox News.
