Doug Hampton’s campaign to bring down the man who slept with his wife continues.
Hampton’s latest blast at Sen. John Ensign (R-NV) came in a sit-down with ABC News’s Nightline. In excerpts teased on the ABC News site, Hampton doubles down on his contention that the $96,000 he and his wife received from Ensign’s parents, after the affair was discovered, was a severance package, not a gift as Ensign has claimed. A severance payment would have violated campaign-finance laws.Hampton said it was “crystal clear” that the payment was severance. “I took notes. I’ve shared those notes. They’re well documented. They were clearly what he deemed as severance.”
