Congressman Tim Murphy issues statement on extramarital affair

[TexasTowelie]

Congressman Tim Murphy publicly admitted Wednesday to having an extramarital affair with a personal friend, issuing a statement about the relationship hours after the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette prevailed in a court motion to unseal a divorce action.

Mr. Murphy, R-Upper St. Clair, is not a party to the divorce. However, the husband in the case, Jesse Sally, a physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist, sought to depose the congressman earlier this year as part of his divorce from Shannon Edwards, a forensic psychologist.

Dorothy Wolbert, who represents Dr. Sally, said that the deposition is relevant to the alimony requested by Ms. Edwards.

"He has the right to know what went on with this marital misconduct," Ms. Wolbert argued on Wednesday.

I don't think it will hurt him in the 2018 election though.
