Congressman Anthony Weiner today sensationally admitted he had exchanged a series of photos and messages of an explicit nature with at least six women.
In a shocking confession, the shamed politician was close to tears as he broke down and told reporters he had lied about sending explicit pictures in a bid to protect his wife and family.
But despite the humiliating apology, the Congressman repeatedly refused to resign.
And tonight the disgraced congressman faced a new accusations as it emerged two women at the centre of the sexting scandal accused Weiner of using a government phones for sex chats.
In an extraordinary press conference in Manhattan this afternoon, Mr Weiner said: ‘I have made terrible mistakes that have hurt some of the people I care about most.
‘I apologise to my wife and our family. I am deeply ashamed of my judgement and terrible actions.
Then he told a stunned audience: ‘I have exchanged photos and messages of an explicit nature with at least six women over the last few years.’
