New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner, who resigned from Congress in 2011 amid a sexting scandal, admitted Tuesday to more sexually charged Internet shenanigans. Weiner, who is married to an aide to Hillary Clinton, issued a statement after a gossip website called The Dirty published an interview with an anonymous woman who claimed she had a six-month online relationship with him that continued after his earlier online activities were exposed. "I said that other texts and photos were likely to come out, and today they have," said Weiner, who has been leading some polls for the Democratic nomination for mayor/Tracy Connor, NBC News.
