Senator David Vitter Calls Case of Violent Aide Old News

[ccharles000]

Louisiana Sen. David Vitter today offered his first public response to questions about the behavior of his longtime aide, who resigned last month after reports surfaced that he had allegedly threatened to kill a female friend and held her at knife-point during a 90-minute ordeal.

In Baton Rouge to file papers for his reelection, with his wife at his side, Vitter was confronted by reporters wanting to know why he kept aide Brent Furer on his staff for two years after the violent incident, and what if any discipline his office imposed after he learned of Furer's guilty pleas to three related offenses. Furer resigned in June, after news of the altercation went public.

Vitter said the issue has been "misrepresented" and "misreported," and he called it old news.

"Well, the event was two years ago. The discipline he got in the office was two years ago," Vitter told reporters.
