Ginger Lee, a former porn actress, said at a press conference on Wednesday that Rep. Anthony Weiner sent an email and “asked me to lie” about their online contact. The two sent each other roughly 100 emails between March and June, though Lee says, “Anytime that he would take our communications in a sexual direction, I did not reciprocate.” After the scandal broke, Lee released a statement which she now says was at Weiner’s request. She also says that he called her on June 2 and asked her to avoid the press.
