Governor Eliot Spitzer spent tens of thousands of dollars with a
prostitution service over an extended period of time.
One official says Spitzer spent as much as $80,000. It's not
clear over what period of time that was spent.
Prosecutors had already said in court papers released yesterday
that Spitzer had been caught on a wiretap spending $4,300 with the
Emperors Club VIP call-girl service. Some of the money is said to
have gone toward a night with a prostitute and the rest as a
credit.
Meanwhile, Spitzer and his family are secluded in their
Manhattan apartment. At the state Capitol, there are calls for his
resignation and talk of impeachment if he doesn't step down.
Insiders say the governor was still trying to decide how to
proceed. Options included quitting immediately, or waiting to use
resignation as a bargaining chip with federal prosecutors to avoid
indictment.
And some Democrats tell the A-P that that Spitzer was also
considering hanging on.
