A South Carolina blogger, and former aide to Governor Mark Sanford claims he had an affair with GOP gubernatorial candidate Nikki Haley.
On his blog Monday morning, Will Folks wrote, "several years ago, prior to my marriage, I had an inappropriate physical relationship with Nikki [Haley]."
Haley's campaign "emphatically" denied the claim to WIS-TV in Columbia.
Folks went on to say, "...within the last forty-eight hours several pieces of information which purportedly document a prior physical relationship between myself and Rep. Haley have begun to be leaked slowly, piece by piece, to members of the mainstream media. I am told that at least one story based upon this information will be published this week. Watching all of this unfold, I have become convinced that the gradual release of this information is deliberately designed to advance this story in the press while simultaneously forcing either evasive answers or denials on my part or on Nikki’s part."
Folks apologized to the Haley family and his wife for not telling her prior to their marriage.
News 2 is investigating this story, and will have more tonight on News 2 at 5:00. You can also check back here frequently for updates as they become available.
