Former porn star says Weiner asked her to lie By Mark Egan \| Reuters – 2 hrs 24 mins ago... . beta.news.yahoo.com .. Former porn actress Ginger Lee and her attorney Gloria Allred depart a news conference … .. Former porn actress Ginger Lee hugs her attorney Gloria Allred following a news conference … .. . . NEW YORK (Reuters) - A porn star said on Wednesday she had an e-mail relationship with embattled Representative Anthony Weiner and that he urged her to lie about their exchanges in the hope that a scandal surrounding him would die down. Ginger Lee, flanked by her celebrity attorney Gloria Allred, told a news conference in New York, that Weiner "asked me to lie" about their interchanges which included about 100 emails as well as messages over Twitter. Lee, a stripper, said her relationship began with the Democratic lawmaker from New York over political issues such as a woman's right to choose abortion, and health care, but that Weiner kept trying to turn the conversation sexual. She said she never reciprocated his lewd messages, which were often about "his package." "I think that Anthony Weiner should resign because he lied. He lied to the public and the press for more than a week," she said. "If he lied about this, I can't have much faith in him about anything else." A chorus of bipartisan calls for Weiner to resign is growing, while the congressman said he would instead seek treatment and a leave of absence after being snared in the scandal over lewd photographs and messages he sent to women over Twitter. "I knew I couldn't lie for him but I did not want to be the one who kicked him under the bus," she said. (Reporting by Mark Egan; Editing by Greg McCune)
