Audio of Craig arrest reveals new details
Craig said on the recording, released Thursday by the Minneapolis Police Department, that he may have touched the officer’s foot with his foot while they were in stalls. “You said our feet bumped; I believe they did,” Craig said, adding that he was scooting over. “Next thing I knew, underneath the bathroom divider comes a card that says ‘Police.’”
The Republican senator from Idaho also said he placed his hand underneath the stall to pick up a paper, not to solicit the officer. . .
Pressure Mounts on Larry Craig to Resign
Pressure on Larry Craig continues to mount as the national Republican Party apparatus builds an intense behind-the-scenes effort to suggest and perhaps order a resignation from the embattled Idaho senator.
Staffers for the senator told FOX News that they expect no public statement from Craig on Thursday. But the Republican National Committee and White House are actively discussing Craig strategy — debating how much pressure to apply on the senator, who pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge in connection with a police sting operation into lewd conduct at a men’s airport restroom in Minnesota.
If Craig does not resign on Thursday, sources say the RNC may publicly call for his resignation. No decision has been reached on that, but the option is being weighed. . .
