Congressman Mahoney cheated on his wife . . . and on his mistress!
2008-10-15
Less than 24 hours after a U.S. Representative Tim Mahoney addressed allegations that he paid a former mistress hush money to keep her quiet reports of a second affair surfaced.
So Patricia Allen believed him when he told her that she was the only one, that his wife didn't understand, etc., etc., etc. ...
Speaking with the media Tuesday morning Mahoney, 52, did not directly address the allegations of adultery first reported by ABC News, but did apologize to his family and say that he had done nothing illegal. In the ABC report Mahoney allegedly began his affair with Patricia Allen in 2006 while he was campaigning for Congress. When the tryst ended, Mahoney reportedly paid Allen $121-thousand to keep her quiet and avoid a sexual harassment lawsuit.
Later that day a person close to the congressman's re-election campaign told The Associated Press that Mahoney also had an affair with a second woman around the same time. The unnamed source said the woman in question was a high-ranking official in Martin County. While having the alleged affair, the source said Mahoney was also lobbying the Federal Emergency Management Agency for a $3.4 million reimbursement for Martin County for damage caused by hurricanes in 2004. FEMA approved the money late last year. What's the over/under on there being yet another other woman?
The Trunks have a pretty devastating ad running against him:
