Week-end in a dispute with vulgar pictures posted to the Twitter account for Rep. Anthony Weiner is a prank caused by a hacker, Weiner told CNN on Monday.
Weiner, a New York Democrat who is a leading liberal voice in the House, accused the photograph on a hacker who took control of their social network accounts.
See, this is a joke and not very creative, Weiner said Monday, adding: I was a hack. It makes happen with people. You can proceed.
However, a spokesman for Weiner, Dave Arnold said the congressman has retained a lawyer to investigate the situation.
We reserve the right to counsel to investigate the appropriate next steps and give us tips on what a civil or criminal proceedings should be taken, Arnold said in a statement. This was a funny story We are reluctant to consider more, but we rely on professional advice.
Biggovernment.com site, run by a conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart, the picture was announced in his lower body has been sent to underwear Weiner has a Twitter account and tweet in a relationship with a woman in Seattle.
The woman, identified as 21 year old student, and later made a statement to the New York Daily News, which said that Weiner had never met even though she was following him on Twitter and was once jokingly referred to his tweet boy.
He noted that the post had become a different person from Weiner, adding that “this person has harassed me many times.
I do not know if this letter will facilitate future harassment, said in a statement Gennette Nicole Cordova posted on Sunday, the Daily News. I also do not have a clear idea of how or why I’m involved in this fiasco. I know that my life has been seriously affected by speculation and faulty arguments. My reputation has been questioned by those who do not have a sign to inform the facts.
Breitbart, who was involved in dubious battle against the Democrats and liberals in the past, said in a statement that the issue deserves further investigation.
What we know is that a link to an obscene picture was posted from a sitting Congress Twitter account, targeting a female recipient who he was after, but it is visible to all, the statement said Breitbart . Two main options: (1) In the Congress of Twitter (and perhaps other elements) has been hacked, or (2) the member of Congress or someone with authorized access to his Twitter account sent the photo.
Breitbart called for forensic analysis to determine the accuracy of the claim that Congress Weiner piracy is certainly criminal implications, and further studies of other women in the Weiner through Twitter.
Weiner called the story of a distraction, and allude to political opponents of trying to use it to distract attention from their problems.
