Ill. Candidate Wants No Divorce Questions
Fri Mar 26,
By MAURA KELLY, Associated Press Writer

CHICAGO - Republican Senate candidate Jack Ryan on Friday asked his opponent and other Democrats to stop questioning sealed documents related to his divorce.








Ryan's opponents have hinted that he was withholding some documents from his 1995 divorce from "Star Trek: Voyager" and "Boston Public" actress Jeri Ryan because they contained embarrassing information that could damage him in the general election.

State Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic candidate, has said he will not bring up the issue, but the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has distributed e-mails with copies of news stories that discuss the issue.

"I think he's got to take it a step forward and say, 'Not only me, but none of the people who are supporting me will do it,'" Ryan said during a taping of WBBM-AM's "At Issue."

Ryan says he has released everything except for documents pertaining to his 9-year-old son.

Obama was not aware of people pushing the issue of Ryan's divorce, his spokesman Pam Smith said.

"If there are people out there who believe that they are somehow helping him by raising this as an issue, they are not and they should stop," Smith said.

A hearing is scheduled for Monday on the Chicago Tribune's attempt to open the sealed files.
