Ex-porn star says Weiner ‘asked me to lie’ about tweets

Calls for Democrat to quit get louder

After the first photo surfaced, Ms. Lee asked Mr. Weiner what to do, and “he asked me to lie” about their contact, she said.

Ms. Lee said she put out a three-sentence statement on the matter at his request.

That statement said: “I haven’t met Rep. Weiner. I follow him on Twitter because I support him and what he stands for. I have been hounded by his political opponents, but that hasn’t changed my view of him and what he fights for.”

At the news conference, Ms. Lee said that after issuing the statement, “I didn’t want to say anything further. I refused to lie, so I went silent and went into hiding.”

But she and Mr. Weiner kept communicating about what to do, she said.
