Sex | Woman: Weiner Sex Was On Congress Phone

WASHINGTON, June 7 (UPI) -- U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner , D-N.Y., used a congressional phone for phone sex, a woman he called alleges, disputing Weiner's claim he used no government property.

Lisa Weiss -- a 40-year-old Las Vegas blackjack dealer who claims to have had a nine-month "sexting," Facebook and sexual phone relationship with Weiner beginning Aug. 13 -- told celebrity Web site RadarOnline.com they often had cybersex during his working hours.

After a March 3 exchange, Weiner allegedly told her he had to end their chat because he was "off to class" to vote on a House healthcare bill, she alleged.

At one point Weiss gave her phone number to Weiner "and he called me from his office and we proceeded to talk dirty for at least 30 minutes," she told RadarOnline.

She said she was sure it was a government phone because she tried to call him back on that number a few days later.

"The number wouldn't connect to his office," she said. "Instead there was a recorded message that it was an outgoing U.S. Congress line only."

Weiss said she didn't initially plan to go public, but did so after she concluded Weiner was "a liar," RadarOnline said.

"I couldn't believe that Anthony didn't own up from the outset," she said.

Weiner's office did not immediately respond to a United Press International request for comment.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., Monday called for a congressional ethics investigation of Weiner after Weiner admitted to sending sexually suggestive photographs or messages to "about six women" online over three years.

The probe of the seven-term congressman would seek "to determine whether any official resources were used or any other violation of House rules occurred."

Weiner claimed earlier Monday his BlackBerry mobile e-mail and smartphone device was not paid for by the government, and said, "I don't believe that I used any government resources" in conducting the illicit, largely electronic affairs.

He told a New York news conference he would not resign and had not violated House rules or his oath as a member of Congress.

He later said in a statement he would "welcome and will fully cooperate with an investigation by the House Ethics Committee."

Weiner, a 46-year-old Democrat from the Queens borough of New York, admitted at his news conference he had lied during the past week in the hope of covering up his actions, and apologized repeatedly and profusely to his wife of less than a year.

He married Huma Abedin, a top aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, last July, with former President Bill Clinton officiating.

A similar scandal ended the career up an upstate New York congressman Feb. 9. Rep. Chris Lee, a married Republican, resigned within hours after it was revealed he had sent a shirtless photograph of himself to a woman he met on the Craigslist online network.

In another New York sex scandal, Gov. Eliot Spitzer, who grew up in the Bronx borough of New York, resigned in March 2008 after revelations he had frequented a prostitution service.
