Pas toujours facile la vie de politicien à l'ère des médias sociaux... Weiner aurait fait parvenir (via twitter) une photo d'un goût plutôt douteux à une jeune femme. Il se rait fait "hacker" son compte.
"Rep. Anthony Weiner's spokesman says the New York Democrat has retained counsel to explore possible legal action after a lewd photograph was posted on his Twitter feed this weekend. According to Weiner, the photograph, which showed a close-up of a man's crotch in tight underwear and was addressed to a 21-year-old Seattle woman, was the work of a hacker.
"We've retained counsel to explore the proper next steps and to advise us on what civil or criminal actions should be taken," Weiner spokesman Dave Arnold said in an email to The Daily Caller. "This was a prank. We are loath to treat it as more, but we are relying on professional advice."
Arnold had previously dismissed the incident as a "distraction."
Over the weekend, the story was quickly pushed by conservative provocateur Andrew Breitbart's Big Government website, which posted a story shortly after midnight on Saturday. From there, the photograph fueled speculation from other bloggers -- particularly about the woman to whom it was directed, who once tweeted "I wonder what my boyfriend @RepWeiner is up to." The woman, Gennette Cordova, received so much attention as a result of the incident that she issued a statement, published by The New York Daily News."
