Ensign disagreed, issued a news statement through his attorney Rob Walker today. “Senator Ensign has admitted and apologized for his conduct and imposed on himself the highest sanction of resignation.” The news statement adds “But this is not the same as agreeing that he did or intended to violate any laws or rules, and this submission demonstrates that there is a lot more to the issues than the Committee’s report indicates.”
