Vitter, 46, a first-term senator, apologized in July for committing a
"very serious sin" and acknowledged his phone number was among those
called several years ago by a Washington escort service run by Deborah
Jeane Palfrey. Federal prosecutors accused Palfrey of racketeering by
running a prostitution ring that netted more than $2 million over 13
years, but she claims her escort service was a legitimate business.

Vitter's admission came after Hustler magazine told the senator that his
telephone number was linked to Palfrey's escort service.

The senator was not charged with a crime.

Vitter's office did not immediately return a phone message Tuesday.

On Monday, Vitter spokesman Joel Digrado wouldn't comment on the Flynt
press conference. In an e-mail, Digrado said, "Sen. Vitter and his wife
have addressed all of this very directly. The senator is focused on
important Louisiana priorities like the water resources bill and the Iraq
debate."
