Craig May Not Return To D.C. Before Resigning
Boise, Idaho (AP) ―
Sen. Larry Craig is sending press releases from Idaho commenting on Senate matters, but his spokesman said he may never return to Washington as a lawmaker.
Spokesman Sid Smith said the 62-year-old Republican doesn't have any plans to go back to D.C. next week. But, he adds, that doesn't mean he won't, just that nothing is planned.
Smith said they're still debating about whether he'll be returning to the Capitol, at all.
Craig said two weeks ago he planned to quit on Sept. 30. He then indicated there was a slim chance he would try to stay in the Senate if he's able to undo his Aug. 1 guilty plea to the reduced misdemeanor charges in a bathroom sex sting at the Twin Cities airport.
The next hearing in the case is Sept. 26.
