(ABC NEWS) — John Edwards today denied a report by Manhattan news site DNAinfo that he was a client of New York “Millionaire Madam” Anna Gristina’s brothel.
Edwards, a former North Carolina senator who ran for the Democratic presidential nod in 2008, is the first big name to be linked by a news report to the brothel, which was broken up by vice cops in March.
Edwards’ lawyer, Allison Van Laningham, called the report by the website “false and defamatory.”
