Since revealing his affair with stafffer Cindy Hampton, the Nevada Senator was relatively quiet. That was until a hand written letter went viral. The letter, written by Mr. Ensign to his lover.Embarassing to say the least. Following this, it was uncovered that after Cindy Hampton left the position she held, she was paid $25,000 in severance pay which could lead to felony charges. Further, his parents went on to pay the Hampton family 8 payments of $12,000, a number acceptable to the IRS if it's a gift. One can speculate the $121,000 was paid as "hush money", or there may be more loopholes than we are aware of. Needless to say, this can only get worse for the Senator.
