to cover up an affair with Cindy Hampton, his former campaign treasurer and the wife of DougHampton, a longtime friend who came to Washington to become his top administrativeassistant.Both Hamptons left Ensign's employ in late April 2008, several months after the affair wasdiscovered and caused rifts between their families. The major allegation centered on Ensign'sefforts to call Nevada firms and find lobbying work for Doug Hampton as a way to cushion theaide's departure and loss of salary.Authorities investigated whether Ensign made his office available to Hampton and his newclients in violation of federal laws that forbid high-level Senate aides from lobbying senators fora year.Although Ensign maintained he has been cleared, it was uncertain whether the JusticeDepartment was continuing the investigation in other directions.Dan Albregts, a LasVegas lawyer for Doug Hampton, said Justice Department lawyers have notinformed him that the investigation has been completed."Given my understanding of the investigation, I'm shocked by their claim," Albregts said. "Infact, my understanding is that the investigation is still ongoing."Asked whether the investigation could be proceeding with Hampton as a target, Albregtsresponded, "It's in the realm of possibility. But if that's the case, I sure would be interested infinding out why."Laura Sweeney, a Justice Department spokeswoman in Washington, would not comment on theinvestigation.Without confirming specifics of the probe, Ensign said, investigators were "thorough. Theyinvestigated everything. They were complete, that is all I can tell you. They went througheverything. They were exhaustive."Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, a watchdog group that filed complaintsagainst Ensign and urged that he be prosecuted, said the Justice Department "chickened out" byhalting the probe."It is a sad day for America when the Department of Justice declines to take action against asenator who has violated the law as blatantly as Senator Ensign," said Melanie Sloan, CREWexecutive director. "The department had abundant evidence, including witnesses who couldtestify regarding the senator's criminal conduct, yet failed to act."Exactly what will a politician have to do for the Department of Justice to sit up and takenotice?" Sloan said in a statement. "The department might as well disband the Public IntegritySection for all the good it does. This is not the kind of change we signed on for."Kirk Lippold, a Nevada Republican who briefly considered running for the Senate this year andhas been mentioned as a possible candidate in 2012, also registered unhappiness.No matter the Justice Department decision on Ensign, "it does not excuse his behavior," saidLippold, a retired Navy commander who was the commanding officer on the USS Cole when itwas bombed by al-Qaida in Yemen in October 2000."I still believe his actions are beneath acceptable standards for someone serving in the UnitedStates Senate," Lippold said in a statement.Ensign, who has said he plans to run for re-election in 2012, said that on hearing the news, hefirst told Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and also Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas,

who is chairman of the Republican Senate campaign committee."I just wanted them to know because this is good news," Ensign said.He had yet to tell fellow Nevada Sen. Harry Reid. Reid did not respond to a request forcomment.Cornyn did not comment Wednesday, and McConnell's reaction was brief."I am sure Senator Ensign was pleased by the announcement," he said.Last month, the FECdismissed a complaint against Ensign pertaining to a $96,000 payment hisparents made to the Hamptons in late April 2008, as they were leaving Ensign's staff.Doug Hampton described the payment as severance for his wife, which triggered a complaintthat it was an unreported and illegal campaign contribution to Ensign. The FECsaid evidencesupplied by Ensign's family backed their contention that it was a legal gift.In a revelation forced by a furious Doug Hampton's attempt to leak the affair to Fox News,Ensign in June 2009 acknowledged the relationship took place over nine months, fromDecember 2007 to August 2008.That began his descent from a rising star in the Republican Party to a back bencher whoreportedly was shunned by colleagues. In Nevada, close friendships with political associateswere ended, and Republicans said he was rarely seen at party functions.Ensign maintained he had patched up his family relationships and apologized for the affair whiledenying any wrongdoing. He stepped up his public appearances over the summer, leading to hisconfirmation last month that he planned to run for a third term in the Senate.A statement from Ensign's office Wednesday reads as follows:"Senator Ensign is certainly pleased that the Department of Justice no longer views him as atarget in their investigation, and has long-stated that he acted in accordance with the law. Ouroffice and the Senator have been cooperative with this investigation, and it's important that thetruth in this matter is finally coming to light. It is the Senator's hope that the Ethics Committeesoon follows suit. Senator Ensign looks forward to continuing his hard work on behalf of thepeople of Nevada."Contact Stephens Washington Bureau Chief Steve Tetreault at [email protected] 202-783-1760.

LENGTH: 662 wordsHEADLINE: DOl drops Ensign investigationBYLINE: John Bresnahan, Manu RajuBODY:

Sen. John Ensign says he'll not face federal charges from a Justice Department investigation into his extramaritalaffair with a former campaign staffer, a surprising announcement that may have a big impact on his 2012 reelectionprospects.

Ensign is still being investigated by the Senate Ethics Committee over his affair with Cindy Hampton, his formercampaign treasurer. Doug Hampton, her husband, was serving as Ensign's deputy chief of staff when the affair began.

Both Hamptons left Ensign's payroll in April 2008, and they eventually sought millions of dollars in paymentsfrom the Nevada Republican. And Ensign's parents, who are wealthy casino owners, gave $96,000 to the Hamptons andtheir children.

Doug Hampton has publicly declared that Ensign promised to find him lobbying work after he left the senator'soffice. Such an action could have violated the one-year lobbying ban imposed on senior congressional aides once theyleave Capitol Hill.

An end to a federal criminal probe would be a huge plus for Ensign, who was forced to resign from the SenateGOP leadership following his decision to go public with the affair before the Hamptons exposed it.

The Justice Department's investigation included probes of Ensign's interactions with Doug Hampton after he leftthe senator's office, as well as Ensign's activities as chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee.

"Sen. Ensign is certainly pleased that the Department of Justice no longer views him as a target in their investiga-tion, and has long stated that he acted in accordance with the law," Ensign's attorney, Paul Coggins, said in a statement.

"Our office and the senator have been cooperative with this investigation, and it's important that the truth in thismatter is finally coming to light," Coggins added. "It is the senator's hope that the Ethics Committee soon follows suit.Sen. Ensign looks forward to continuing his hard work on behalf of the people of Nevada. "

Justice Department officials declined to comment on Wednesday.The decision by Justice not to bring charges against Ensign was first reported by the Las Vegas Review-Journal.After spending hundreds of thousands of dollars of his campaign cash to pay his legal bills, Ensign can now focus

on replenishing those funds for his reelection campaign for a third term. He had only $280,000 in his account at the endof September - and faces the serious risk of a challenger. Rep. Dean Heller (R-Nev.) is one of several candidates whohave signaled an interest.

"Mainly what I've been focusing on is earning people's trust back in Nevada, getting around the state and doing myjob," Ensign told POLITICO last month. "We've been planning on it for quite some time."

Ensign said he's not worrying about how his legal problems might affect his chances for reelection."All I can do isjust do my job and present my case to Nevadans, and see what they' think," he said.Ensign has never been close to the party establishment in Nevada - and it remains to be seen whether he can re-

surrect ties with his party that all but abandoned him in the aftermath of the affair.Still, some early polls have shown promising signs for him.Soon after the election, Public Policy Polling released a survey that found Ensign leading Heller by 8 points, 45 to

37, in a head-to-head matchup. The poll also said that Nevada Lt. Gov. Brian Krolicki would lose a primary to Ensignby 28 points, and that 64 percent of GOP respondents viewed the senator favorably.

But it remains likely that other challengers might emerge - forcing Ensign to run against several candidates.Republican leaders in Washington have kept their distance from Ensign since his June 2009 admission, which

forced him to relinquish his No.4 spot in the Senate leadership and give up any hopes of running for president in 2012.And it's unclear whether he'll win new support from his colleagues with an Ethics Committee investigation still

hovering over him.LOAD-DATE: December 2, 2010

SEN. JOHN ENSIGN'S ADMISSION: 'Last year I had an affair'Ensign says he will remain in office with wife's supportBy MOLLY BALL and STEVE TETREAULTLAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNALCalling it "absolutely the worst thing that I've ever done in my life," U.S. Sen. John Ensignadmitted Tuesday that he had an affair with a campaign staffer last year."If there was ever anything that I could take back in my life, this would be it," Ensign, 51, saidTuesday afternoon in Las Vegas, reading from a prepared statement in a brief news conferenceat which he took no questions.The Nevada Republican, a leading conservative voice in his party who has been listed aspossible presidential material, indicated that he plans to remain in office and that his wife of 21years, Darlene, is standing by him.The woman and her husband "were both close friends, and they both worked for me," Ensignsaid.Ensign had the affair, from December 2007 to August 2008, with a woman who worked for hisSenate campaign and his political action committee. The woman's husband, meanwhile, workedin Ensign's Senate office, according to an aide who spoke on condition of anonymity.By May 2008, both were no longer employed by Ensign, the aide said.Ensign did not name the woman. Sources with knowledge of the matter confirmed that thecouple in question are Cindy and Doug Hampton of Las Vegas. Senate and Federal ElectionCommittee records show that they fit the description outlined by Ensign and his aides.Calls made to the pair were not returned late Tuesday. They did not answer the door at theirSummerlin home.

Ensign did not explain why he chose to come forward with his admission of infidelity Tuesday.A Washington source said Ensign decided to announce the affair after he was approached by thehusband of the woman involved. The man asked Ensign for a "substantial" amount of moneywith the implication it would buy the couple's continued silence, according to the source.It was not immediately known how much money might have been involved, or whether Ensignreported the incident to authorities. Neither Ensign nor his spokesman would comment on thematter.ALL APOLOGIES

-- to speak to a conservative group, the American Future Fund.For now, those aspirations will be stalled by the affair, according to an expert, but Ensign mightwell be forgiven by his constituents.It's likely that Ensign will lower his profile for a while: no more speaking engagements or spotson national cable, said University of Nevada, Reno, political science professor Eric Herzik.There were signs this week that Ensign was already preparing to lie low. A barbecue dinnerfundraiser he was scheduled to headline in Nevada on Friday was postponed, according to thehost group, the Republican Renewal Project."He had a nice trajectory for more national prominence, and that has been, at best, stalled,because he is now going to have to deal with this issue both personally and politically," Herziksaid.But damage to his standing within Nevada, where polls show him among the more popularelected officials, should be minimal, Herzik said."I don't know that an affair is a career-stopper if you handle it the right way," Herzik said."Ensign got out in front and released the news himself. By the time he runs for re-election (in2012), it will be old news."A former veterinarian whose campaign ads have shown him cuddling puppies, Ensign waselected to the Senate in 2000 after narrowly losing a bid to defeat Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., in1998.Despite that tough race, Reid and Ensign became close friends after the 1998 election. OnTuesday, Reid said through a spokesman that his "thoughts are with Sen. Ensign and his familyas they go through this difficult time."PAST WHISPERSWhispers of impropriety have dogged Ensign before. In February 2002, he took a suddentwo-week leave from the Senate that was never explained.Itwas understood among his staff that the leave for "personal reasons" was a rescue mission ofsorts for Ensign's troubled marriage.At the same time, Ensign campaigned as a social and religious conservative who defendedfamily values. A member of the Promise Keepers, he delivered the opening prayer at theChristian men's group's meeting in Las Vegas in 2003.In 1998, Ensign was the first member of Nevada's congressional delegation to call for PresidentBill Clinton's resignation over his affair with Monica Lewinsky.Speaking on the Senate floor in 2004, Ensign called for a constitutional amendment banninggay marriage, saying, "Marriage is the cornerstone on which our society was founded."In 2007, Ensign was among the most prominent Republicans calling on Idaho Sen. Larry Craigto resign, calling Craig a "disgrace" for his arrest in an airport men's restroom on disorderlyconduct charges.On Tuesday, Ensign indicated he would not step down, saying, "I am committed to my service inthe United States Senate and my work on behalf of the people of Nevada."FAMILY FRIEN OSDoug Hampton and John Ensign were old, close friends when Ensign gave Hampton a top staff

position in 2006, according to a former Ensign staffer."It was as if Ensign had put his brother on staff," the staffer said. "He (Hampton) had a lot ofsway with the senator."Hampton previously had worked for Sierra Pacific Resources, now NV Energy, in the utility'senergy efficiency department, according to the company.Hampton's position in Ensign's Washington office was "administrative assistant," according toSenate records. The former staffer described the post as a sort of "co-chief of staff."Hampton worked for Ensign in the Senate from November 2006 to May 2008, records show,earning about $245,000 over that time span.Meanwhile, according to campaign disclosures on file with the Federal Election Commission,Cindy Hampton was a bookkeeper for Ensign's political operations, including Ensign for Senateand Ensign's Battle Born Political Action Committee.LEFT ENSIGN'S EMPLOYIn May 2008, the two abruptly left Ensign's employ and Washington, returning to LasVegas andthe Summerlin home not far from where the Ensigns live.According to county records, the Hamptons purchased the five-bedroom, 4,360-square-footproperty in 2004 for $1.23 million.Zillow.com, a Web site than analyzes real estate information, now prices their home inSummerlin's Trails Village at $862,000.Since leaving, sources said, Doug Hampton has worked as a consultant for Allegiant Air and forNovember Inc., the political consulting firm that runs Ensign's campaigns.On Tuesday, signs of life could be seen through the front door window of the well-kept home,but no one answered the door.A freshly washed Dodge Ram truck was parked in the driveway.Review-Journal writers Mike Blasky and Brian Haynes contributed to this report.

serve as an intermediary with the Hamptons in May in discussing a large financial settlement,to help them rebuild their lives."John got trapped doing something really stupid and then made a lot of other mistakesafterward," Mr. Coburn, Republican of Oklahoma, said in an interview. "Judgment getsimpaired by arrogance, and that's what's going on here."In a statement, Mr. Ensign said: "I am confident we fully complied with the relevant laws andrules governing current and past employees. I have worked on these Nevada issues with theseNevada companies for years, long before Doug Hampton left my office."The senator declined to be interviewed. But his office said that the inquiries he had madeabout work for Mr. Hampton were "only recommendation calls" and that the senator's actionsin support of his former aide's clients were "not at the behest of Mr. Hampton."Mr. Hampton and his wife, in a series of interviews, provided a detailed account of Mr.Ensign's efforts to mitigate the fallout from the affair, which ruptured two families that hadbeen the closest of friends.Mr. Hampton said he and Mr. Ensign were aware of the lobbying restriction but chose toignore it. He recounted how the senator helped him find clients and ticked off several steps Mr.Ensign took to assist them with their agendas in Washington, activities confirmed by federalofficials and executives with the businesses."The only way the clients could get what John was essentially promising them - which wasaccess - was if I still had a way to work with his office,"Mr. Hampton said. "And John knewthat."After requests from Mr. Hampton, Mr. Ensign called the secretary oftransportation last year toplead the case for a Nevada airline, Allegiant Air, which was under investigation for allegedlyovercharging for tickets. In April, he arranged for Mr. Hampton and his clients to meet the newtransportation secretary in a successful effort to resolve a dispute with a foreign competitor.The senator, after exchanges between_his senior staff members and Mr. Hampton, also urgedInterior Department officials to complete an environmental review for a controversialcoal-burning plant under development by a Nevada power company, NV Energy.Despite those efforts, Mr. Ensign's relationship with his one-time aide and the husband of hisformer mistress has ended in bitterness and recriminations. Mr. Hampton grew increasinglyfrustrated about his financial situation, believing that the senator had reneged on a deal to findhim enough clients to sustain his income."Youhave not retained three clients for me as promised, and your poor choices have led to adeep hurt and financial impact to my family," Mr. Hampton wrote the senator in an e-mailmessage in July 2008. "At your request and your design, I left your organization to save your

reputation and career, and mine has been ruined."For his part, Mr. Ensign has complained that Mr. Hampton tried to extract exorbitant sumsfrom him.Until he admitted the affair in June, Mr. Ensign, 51,was a top Senate Republican leader andwas discussed as a possible presidential contender in 2012. The silver-haired senator with astatesman's looks and family money - his father helped found a Las Vegas casino - haschampioned conservative social values.But the scandal forced him to resign as head of the Republican Senate Policy Committee andended talk of any bid for the White House.Mr. Ensign spent part of the summer apologizing to constituents. Drawing a contrast withformer President Bill Clinton, whom he had voted to impeach as a House member during theMonica Levvinskyaffair, Mr. Ensign said in August that his infidelity was largely a personalmatter and added, "I haven't done anything legally wrong."Longtime Family FriendsThe Ensigns and the Hamptons had been friends going back to their time together in SouthernCalifornia in the 1980s, when John Ensign was just starting out as a veterinarian and had notyet begun to consider a life in politics. Darlene Ensign, the senator's wife, and CynthiaHampton had known each other growing up there.The families were so close that in 2004 the Ensigns persuaded the Hamptons to move to theirexpensive Las Vegas neighborhood. They traveled to Hawaii and Puget Sound aboard the jetowned by Mr. Ensign's father, watched their children's sporting events together and sharedregular Sunday dinners.In 2006, the senator hired Mr. Hampton as a top aide - effectively, his co-chief of staff - in amove that irritated some staff members, who thought Mr. Hampton's friendship with thesenator and his background at a military contractor did not qualify him for the senior post. Mr.Ensign also hired Cynthia Hampton as his campaign treasurer.The Hamptons were such a fixture in the Ensigns' lives that it raised no eyebrows when thesenator took Ms. Hampton to Washington galas. Ms. Ensign did not like Washington much,associates said, and lived in Nevada.At a black-tie Christmas party at the White House in 2006, Mr. Ensign and Ms. Hamptonbeamed as they posed for a picture with President George W. Bush and his wife, Laura. Itwasthat night that he realized that his feelings toward Ms. Hampton had become romantic, Mr.Ensign later admitted to Mr. Hampton, according to Mr. Hampton.Ayear later, during what Mr. Ensign said was a difficult time in his marriage, Mr. Hampton

intercepted a text message from his boss to his wife that made plain that their relationship hadbecome intimate. "It was such a betrayal," Mr. Hampton said.There were heated confrontations, tearful admissions, promises to end the affair, even jointfamily meetings that included the couples' children. Still, the relationship continued.During a February 2008 Congressional trip to Iraq, Mr. Ensign called Ms. Hampton almostevery morning and night. She said that when the phone bill came to Mr. Ensign's campaignoffice,he gave her almost $1,000 in cash to cover the calls. Mr. Ensign's office confirmed thatthe senator gave Ms. Hampton "enough cash to cover the personal charges." (On the trip, Mr.Hampton said he noticed frequent calls from Mr. Ensign's cellphone to "Aunt Judy" - at hiswife's number.)That month, Mr. Hampton decided to take stronger steps to end the affair. He and Mr. Ensignshared a strong Christian faith, and often attended prayer meetings at a Capitol Hill housewhere Mr. Ensign, Mr. Coburn and other lawmakers lived. The house, on Street, is affiliatedwith the Fellowship Foundation, a Christian outreach group influential with conservatives inCongress.Mr. Hampton went to several group leaders. On Valentine's Day, they confronted Mr. Ensignduring lunch at the house. Mr. Hampton, yelling at times, was there, too. Mr. Coburn, anordained deacon, took the lead in questioning Mr. Ensign, who acknowledged that Mr.Hampton's accusation was true."I said, 'NO.1, you're having an affair, and you need to stop,' " Mr. Coburn recounted. Thesenator said he also advised Mr. Ensign to make the affair public and to work to reconcile thetwo families.Mr. Coburn warned Mr. Ensign that if the affair did not end, he would "go to Mitch" -referring to Mitch McConnell, the Republican Senate leader, Mr. Hampton said.At the urging of foundation leaders, Mr. Ensign agreed to write a goodbye letter to CvnthiaHamRton and send it by overnight mail. "What I did with you was a mistake," he wrote inlonghand. "I was completely self-centered and only thinking of myself. I used you for my ownpleasure."But immediately after the confrontation, the senator called Ms. Hampton and told her todisregard the letter, Ms. Hampton said. The relationship would continue for six more months.WorkAfter WashingtonThe senator soon began developing an exit strategy to quietly move Doug Hampton out of hislife.Senate Republicans were facing a tough challenge in 2008, and Mr. Ensign, as chairman of the

National Republican Senatorial Committee, was charged with raising tens of millions ofdollars to help bankroll vulnerable Republican incumbents and elect newcomers.During an afternoon of fund-raising meetings in late February 2008, Mr. Ensign confided inMichael Slanker, the group's political director, that Mr. Hampton was unexpectedly leaving hisWashington office to return to Nevada.There was no mention of the affair. Instead, Mr. Ensign told Mr. Slanker that Ms. Hamptonwas ill, and that her husband was weary of flying back and forth between Las Vegas andWashington, Mr. Slanker recalled. (Those explanations were "all untruths," he said he learnedlater.)Within minutes, the senator and Mr. Slanker came up with an idea.Michael Slanker had made more than $500,000 in the prior five years working for what hecalled "Ensign Inc." serving as Mr. Ensign's top fund-raiser and political consultant. Thecompany Mr. Slanker and his wife had formed to help run these campaigns, November Inc.,had become dormant after the couple moved to Washington to help Mr. Ensign run theRepublican committee in 2007.Mr. Slanker said he proposed that the firm could be revived, giving Mr. Hampton a well-knownbase in Nevada political circles to start a small government affairs practice. That afternoon, thesenator and Mr. Slanker met with Mr. Hampton."Whatever clients you can get - you can eat what you kill," Mr. Slanker recalled telling Mr.Hampton of the deal.As part ofthe arrangement, Mr. Ensign also agreed to help line up three or four clients whowould pay Mr. Hampton enough to match or surpass his $144,000 Senate salary as anadministrative assistant, Mr. Hampton said. His account is corroborated, in part, bye-mailmessages Mr. Hampton sent to the senator that spring, and by a work plan that Mr. Slankerand Mr. Hampton prepared.Soon after, Mr. Ensign called the Hamptons separately. Cynthia Hampton, he said, would haveto leave her $48,000 a year campaign job, while her husband would have to quit as planned.But as severance, the senator said he and his wife would give the Hamptons a check for about$100,000, Ms. Hampton said.Mr. Ensign's lawyer in June, however, called the $96,000 payment that was ultimately made atax-free gift from Mr. Ensign's parents to the Hamptons "out of concern for the well-being oflongtime family friends during a difficult time."Mr. Hampton's notes from the phone conversation with Mr. Ensign - sketched on a Senatenotepad - made clear that they had agreed on one other condition.

"No contact what so ever with Cindy!"Phone Calls and LettersNV Energy, the largest power company in Nevada, had a problem in the summer of 2008. Theutility had been waiting more than a year for the Interior Department to finish anenvironmental assessment of a proposed $5 billion coal-burning plant.The company figured that if Mr. Bush left office without the environmental report's beingapproved, the entire project could be stalled indefinitely. Nevada Democrats, including SenatorHarry Reid, the majority leader, had spoken out against the plan.That is where Mr. Hampton came in.Weeks earlier, Mr. Ensign had contacted Michael Yakira, the chief executive ofNV Energy, andinquired about work for Mr. Hampton, the company acknowledged in an e-mail message. Thecompany and its executives were reliable supporters of the senator, contributing more than$50,000 to his political causes over the previous five years. After Mr. Yakira met with Mr.Hampton, the company hired him, through November Inc., to do "lobbying coordination" offederal officials, according to a copy of the contract.Interviews show that the senator also spoke with other Nevada power brokers, includingMaurice J. Gallagher Jr., the chief executive ofAllegiant Air, the Las Vegas-based discountairline; Bob Andrews, a financial industry executive; Sig Rogich, a prominent Republicanconsultant; and Paul Steelman, a casino architect and developer. In the conversations, Mr.Ensign did not specify what type of work Mr. Hampton might perform, but the executives hecontacted said he had made it clear that Mr. Hampton would be well suited for consulting thatdrew on his Senate experience.Mr. Steelman said that, in the midst of a phone conversation in which he was seeking Mr.Ensign's help on a casino dispute, the senator mentioned Mr. Hampton and asked if thedeveloper might have business for him as a lobbyist or consultant."He knows I have a lot of clients throughout the world," Mr. Steelman said in an interview.He did not end up enlisting Mr. Hampton, but NV Energy and Allegiant Air did, each agreeingto $5,ooo-a-month contracts through November Inc., company documents and interviewsshow.The senator had a record of assisting Allegiant and NVEnergy, both major employers in hisstate. His office, for example, had helped the airline resolve questions raised by the Securitiesand Exchange Commission in 2006, before the airline went public, and urged federalregulators in 2005 to approve NV Energy's plan to buy an electric power plant outside LasVegas.

Still, a review of the records and interviews shows that Mr. Hampton, in coordination with Mr.Ensign and his staff, played a significant role in pushing the companies' agendas inWashington.With NV Energy, for instance, Mr. Hampton spent the summer of 2008 strategizing with JohnLopez, the senator's chief of staff, about how Mr. Ensign could intervene with the InteriorDepartment to get the coal-plant report completed, Mr. Hampton said.In November 2008, Mr. Ensign wrote to the Interior Department secretary at the time, DirkKempthorne, restating his longstanding view that the project was good for Nevada and urgingthe agency to publish the report.Mr. Hampton followed up the next month with an e-mail messagetoMr.Lopez.still trying toget the report released. The delay "is really hurting Nevada," he wrote.MI,_L_Q.12ezresJ:2_QJ}_d~dJ:he~ame dav. "I have been pounding Interior and can't figure why thishasn't come out," his e-mail message said. ''I'll call again today."Mr. Lopez asked Matthew C. Eames, the department's director of Congressional affairs, tomake inquiries. Mr. Eames, in an interview, said after that hearing repeatedly from Mr.Ensign's office, he contacted half a dozen Interior Department officials in Nevada andWashington to urge them to issue the report.Five days after the e-mail exchange between Mr. Hampton and Mr. Lopez - on Dec 17,2008- the environmental impact statement was signed. (NV Energy has since put the coal plantproject on hold.)Mr. Ensign's office said that his intervention on behalf of the utility reflected his support forthe plant. The senator "has been working on this specific issue for a long time before DougHampton was a lobbyist," according to Mr. Ensign's statement.Senate ethics rules and federal criminal law prohibit former aides, if they have "the intent toinfluence," from making "any communication to or appearance" with any senator or Senatestaff member for a year after leaving their jobs. A separate law required Mr. Hampton toregister as a lobbyist if he intended to press a company's case on Capitol Hill.Congress in 2007 toughened ethics laws to make failure to file as a lobbyist a criminal offense.Prosecutors have used the 12-month lobbying ban to bring criminal charges in severalcorruption cases, including the 2006 conviction of Bob Ney, then a Republican congressmanfrom Ohio.Mr. Hampton, who believed that Mr. Ensign's help with his clients was crucial to his success,admitted he had ignored the restrictions. He said that it was November Inc.'s responsibility toregister him as a lobbyist, but he added that he did not insist the company do so because itwould have made obvious that he was making inappropriate contacts on Capitol Hill.

violating the one-year ban, he said he did so at Mr. Ensign's direction."Work with Lopez," Mr. Hampton said the senator told him. "I will take care of Lopez. I willmake sure Lopez gives you what you need."Mr. Lopez agreed that Mr. Ensign instructed him to work with Mr. Hampton, but offered adifferent explanation.He said that after he had raised concerns about Mr. Hampton's requests, Mr. Ensignresponded by designating him to be the office's intermediary with Mr. Hampton to ensure thatthe contacts complied with the law.Mr. Lopez, who left Mr. Ensign's office last month, also said his conversations with Mr.Hampton were simply "informational.""Did Doug advocate and try to lobby in a couple of instances?" Mr. Lopez asked. "Absolutely.But that's his problem."Several legal experts said, however, that the communications between Mr. Ensign's office andMr. Hampton might have been improper. IfMr. Ensign knew that Mr. Hampton was lobbyinghis office and facilitated the arrangement, he could face an inquiry, said Stan Brand, a formerHouse general counsel who specializes in government ethics issues."You can't advise someone to do something against the law and not run into trouble on that,"Mr. Brand said.Mr. Hampton also turned to Mr. Ensign to intervene in disputes involving Allegiant Air, whosechief executive had donated $60,000 to the senator's political causes over the previous fiveyears.The company was under investigation by the Department of Transportation last year fordeceptively tacking on a "convenience fee" on tickets sold over the Internet. Mr. Hamptonasked Mr. Lopez to have Mr. Ensign call the transportation secretary at the time, Mary E.Peters, to object to the investigation, or at least to get a status report on the inquiry. (Ms.Peters confirmed that the conversation occurred.) The appeal faileq, and half of a $50,000 finewas suspended.In his statement, Mr. Ensign's office said that he had spoken to Mr. Gallagher, Allegiant's chiefexecutive, about the airline's concerns before calling Ms. Peters and that he did not actspecifically in response to Mr. Hampton's requests.Mr. Hampton also worked with Mr. Ensign's office to arrange a March 2009 meeting betweenMr. Gallagher and the new transportation secretary, Rav LaHood. Mr. Gallagher, who ischairman of an airline association, was seeking to challenge a contract that Air Canada hadwon to provide transportation to professional American sports teams. (Eventually, Air Canada

was forced by the department to make changes in its charter practices that Mr. Gallagher hadrequested.)Mr. Ensign requested the session in a phone call to Mr. LaHood, a former House Republicancolleague, transportation officials said. The department described the March 11meeting - withMr. Hampton in attendance - as part of a series of courtesy visits with airline executives. Theagency acknowledged that the Air Canada dispute was discussed.The same day as the Transportation Department meeting, Mr. Ensign and Mr. Gallagher hadlunch in the Senate Dining Room, with Mr. Hampton and Mr. Lopez joining them. Mr.Hampton also set up meetings for Allegiant with five other senators on Capitol Hill, includingMr. Coburn.Mr. Coburn said he realized only when asked about it that his meeting with Mr. Hamptonmight have violated the one-year lobbying moratorium. "It was wrong," Mr. Coburn said.Allegiant Air and November Inc. also said they were unaware of any possible legal issues untilasked recently, and said they would consult their lawyers to determine if corrective action wasneeded.Mr. Slanker, at November Inc., said that ifhis company was part of improper lobbying efforts,''I'm going to make it right." The whole situation, he added, "makes me sick to my stomach."Going PublicMonths after Mr. Hampton discovered the affair, he and his wife began seeing a counselor tosalvage their marriage. But Mr. Hampton said he became increasingly embittered toward Mr.Ensign over the "destruction" the infidelity had caused.By July 2008, Mr. Hampton said he was worried about his finances, since the senator hadhelped him get only two clients. The next month, Mr. Hampton secured a full-time position atAllegiant Air that paid as much as $225,000 a year. But he said he still felt he was in aprecarious position because of his reliance on the senator for access in Washington. "I couldn'tkeep living a lie," he said.So in April, he hired a lawyer, Daniel J. Albregts of Las Vegas. In an interview, Mr. Albregtssaid he believed the Hamptons might have a civil claim against Mr. Ensign over theirdismissals from his staff and the consequences for their family.That began a series of intense, though ultimately futile conversations intended to reach afinancial settlement.Mr. Hampton went back to Mr. Coburn, who offered to talk to Mr. Ensign about restitution forthe Hamptons to help them relocate from Nevada. Mr. Coburn said he raised the issue withMr. Ensign, who said, "I'll listen."

Mr. Albreg.lli.ggyeMr. Coburn a figure: just under $8.5 million, to cover purchase of theHamptons' home, lost wages and "pain and suffering."Mr. Coburn dismissed that as "ridiculous." Mr. Hampton came back with a lower number -about $2 million, which Mr. Coburn passed on. Mr. Ensign flatly rejected the proposal."That's a joke; forget it," Mr. Coburn recalled Mr. Ensign saying.The negotiations were over, but Mr. Hampton had a final card to play: publicity. Withouttelling his lawyer, he wrote a letter to Fox News on June 11 laying out the affair. That wouldlead to a hastily scheduled news conference days later, when Mr. Ensign would express regretover the "deep pain" he had caused both families.Doug and Cynthia Hampton are both now out of work - Allegiant Air let him go because ofthescandal, and his NY Energy contract expired this spring. The couple have put their house upfor sale and hope to leave Las Vegas.While several citizens' watchdog groups have called for an ethics investigation into Mr.Ensign's conduct, there are no signs of any active inquiries. Mr. Ensign's string of apologiesand his back-to-business demeanor in the months since his news conference appear to havehelped him ride out the political storm. Over the last week, he made the news again, foropposing a major element of President Obarna's health care plans. References to the affair wereno longer attached to his name.

More Messages Link Senator to JobEffortBy ERIC LlCHTBLAU and ERIC LIPTONWASHINGTON - Previously undisclosed e-mail messages turned over to the F.B.I. andSenate ethics investigators provide new evidence about Senator John Ensign's efforts to steerlobbying work to the embittered husband of his former mistress and could deepen his legaland political troubles.Mr. Ensign, Republican of Nevada, suggested that a Las Vegas development firm hire thehusband, Douglas Hampton, after it had sought the senator's help on several energy projectsin 2008, according to e-mail messages and interviews with company executives.The messages are the first written records from Mr. Ensign documenting his efforts to findclients for Mr. Hampton, a top aide and close friend, after the senator had an affair with hiswife, Cynthia Hampton. They appear to undercut the senator's assertion that he did not knowthe work might involve Congressional lobbying, which could violate a federal ban on suchactivities by staff members for a year after leaving government.The e-mail messages also hint at what Mr. Ensign's office now says was an effort by the LasVegas firm, a small energy investment business called P2SA Equity, to improperly link Mr.Ensign's possible assistance to a promised donation.The F.B.I. and the Senate Ethics Committee are investigating whether Mr. Ensign, in trying tocontain the fallout from his affair with Ms. Hampton, conspired to find lobbying work for herhusband despite the federal restrictions. They are also examining a $96,000 payment Mr.Ensign's parents made to the Hamptons.Mr. Hampton has said that the senator promised to work around the lobbying ban and helphim make up the income that he and his wife, a former Ensign campaign staff member, lostwhen they left their jobs after the affair ended in 2008.The e-mail messages involving P2SA, which were provided to The New York Times bysomeone involved in the case, appear to open a new line of inquiry to investigators.

In October, The Times disclosed Mr. Ensign's role in securing lucrative jobs for Mr. Hamptonat two other Nevada companies - NV Energy and Allegiant Air - and intervening withfederal officials on behalf of those companies. But the senator's discussions with P2SAexecutives about potential work for Mr. Hampton have not been previously reported.

Mr. Ensign's entreaties to P2SA, though, were unsuccessful. Executives there decided afterseveral interviews with Mr. Hampton that they did not have a spot for him.Mr. Ensign denied any wrongdoing."Senator Ensign has stated clearly, he has not violated any law or Senate ethics rule," saidRebecca Fisher, the senator's spokeswoman. "If Doug Hampton violated federal law or rules,Senator Ensign did not advise him to do so, did not suggest that he do so, and did notcooperate with his doing so."Officials from the F.B.I. and the Senate ethics panel declined to comment.P2SA, which has tried to turn Las Vegas into a national center for alternative energy, isco-owned by Greg J. Paulk, a contractor who has been a campaign donor to Mr. Ensign.According to the e-mail messages. Mr. Ensign met with Mr. Paulk and Bob Andrews, thenP2SA's executive vice president, in May 2008 to discuss any help the senator might be able toprovide on energy projects.

At that time, Mr. Ensign was scrambling to find work for Mr. Hampton, his former topadministrative aide. The senator had already helped find a position for Mr. Hampton atNovember Inc., a political consulting shop run by a former fund-raiser for the senator, andhad spoken with donors at Allegiant Air and NV Energy about possible consulting work there.At the meeting, Mr. Andrews said in an interview, he sought the senator's support for abiodiesel facility the company was building in Las Vegas and a possible land swap in Sloan,Nev., with the federal Bureau of Land Management (referred to as BLM in e-mail exchanges)so the company could build a solar power plant.Mr. Ensign brought up the idea of P2SA's hiring Mr. Hampton, Mr. Andrews recalled.The senator mentioned "that he might have somebody we should talk to who might be able toprovide us with assistance in our biodiesel program," Mr. Andrews said, adding: "I took this asa helpful hint."In a follow-up e-mail message obtained by the F.B.I. and Senate investigators, Mr. Andrewswrote to Mr. Ensign: "We are excited about the assistance that you and your staff may be able

to give us in regards to the Biodiesel and our properties south of Sloan."Mr. Andrews added: "Give me the information regarding next week's fund-raising and we willcertainly attend. Thanks again."According to the documents, Mr. Ensign forwarded the note about the company's businessplans to Mr. Hampton with a message of his own saying: "I think you have played golf withhim. This is who I met with."That led to a series of meetings between Mr. Hampton and Mr. Andrews about consultingwork."Itwas my understanding he was in the lobbying business," Mr. Andrews said of Mr.Hampton. "Being able to lobby our Congressional and senatorial lawmakers was certainlysomething we were exploring."Mr. Ensign also spoke with Mr. Slanker at November Inc. about Mr. Hampton's job prospects."Spoke with JE about the Paulks," Mr. Slanker, using the senator's initials, told Mr. Hamptonin an e-mail message. "They are looking into energy stuff in rural NV possibly and might needBLM help." The firm was a "solid prospect" for consulting work, he said.In an e-mail message on May go.czoo Si Mr. Hampton told the senator that he expected tomeet soon with Mr. Andrews about a consulting job. Six weeks later, though, he e-rnailedagain to say that the firm had "decided they do not need the service at this time."Still, the case could pose legal problems for Mr. Ensign, ethics lawyers said.The one-year ban on lobbying by former Congressional aides applies mainly to the formeremployees themselves. But investigators are seeking to determine if Mr. Ensign helped Mr.Hampton flout the law, and whether the senator's decision to pass Mr. Hampton informationabout P2SA's proposals could constitute improper "contact," even if it did not produce a job,several lawyers said.At a minimum, the Senate ethics committee would most likely want to determine whether thee-mail messages between Mr. Ensign and Mr. Hampton related to an "official matter" underethics restrictions, said Elliot S. Berke, a lawyer specializing in Congressional ethics. Withethics allegations swirling in Washington, the case against Mr. Ensign is one of the few to haverisen to a criminal investigation.P2SA's projects ultimately foundered. The biodiesel plant it financed was built but neveropened, and the idea for a solar plant stalled. But Mr. Ensign did push legislation, which

would have benefited the company, to provide a new tax break for solar power projects, andhe voted to extend a separate tax break for biodiesel plants. Ms. Fisher, the spokeswoman forMr. Ensign, said the senator's actions were unrelated to any requests by P2SA. Sheacknowledged, though, that the firm's apparent linking of campaign contributions to politicalhelp raised ethical issues.In August 2008, two months after meeting with the senator, Mr. Paulk donated $10,000 to apolitical action committee affiliated with Mr. Ensign and a half-dozen other politicians,records show. Ms. Fisher said Mr. Ensign's office returned $1,666 - his share ofthecontribution - in late 2008 after a staff member alerted him to the potential ethics problem."The senator acted immediately by calling the company to tell them that his office could notassist them because the subject of fund-raising had been raised in the context of a request forassistance," Ms. Fisher said. "Senator Ensign has consistently acted in an ethical manner toavoid even the appearance of impropriety."

Ex-Ensign aide details wife's affairHampton discloses letter from senator discussing 'sin' he committedBy MOLLY BALLLAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNALMidway through a nine-month extramarital affair with a member of his campaign staff, Sen.John Ensign wrote his lover a letter saying they had committed a "sin" and "God never intendedfor us to do this.""I used you for my own pleasure .... I betrayed everything I believe in," Ensign wrote.The letter from Ensign, R-Nev., to Cindy Hampton is dated February 2008. Ensign has said theaffair lasted from December 2007 to August 2008.Despite the letter's contrite language, Ensign immediately sought to continue the relationshipwith Cindy Hampton, her husband, Doug Hampton, told local journalist Jon Ralston in aninterview that aired in part on Wednesday.Doug Hampton claims in the interview that Ensign paid "well over $25,000" in severance toCindy Hampton when she left Ensign's employ in May 2008, according to Ralston, the host of"Face to Face" on Las Vegas ONE and a columnist for the Las Vegas Sun.The aggrieved husband, who had sought to expose Ensign to Fox News before Ensign'sadmission of the affair last month, believes Enslqn showed poor judgment in pursuing the affairand in its aftermath and should now resign. Hampton, who declined to talk to the Review-Journal outside his home Wednesday, provided the Ensign letter to Ralston.Doug Hampton, 47, was a top staffer in Ensign's U.S. Senate office until May 2008. He claimsboth he and Cindy, 46, lost their jobs with the senator because of the affair.Ensign, 51, admitted the affair in a LasVegas news conference on June 16, apologizing to thoseaffected and taking no questions. He has since gone back to work in Washington.Ensign's staff declined to answer questions Wednesday about Hampton's accusations, though inthe evening spokesman Tory Mazzola issued a statement: "In response to today's televisioninterview, Senator Ensign said Doug Hampton was conslstently inaccurate in his statements."In the letter, Ensign wrote that he had ignored the effect his actions would have on DougHampton, a longtime close friend, and the Hamptons' three children, who attended the sameSummerlin private school as the Ensign children."I lied to myself over and over," Ensign wrote. "I justified my actions because I blamed my wife.Doug has been a great friend to me over the years + I threw all of that away over wanting tofeel good."

Hampton says Ensign's wife, Darlene, called the senator's chief political consultant, MikeSianker, and had him arrange for a consulting position with his firm, November Inc., to getHampton "back here to the state (Nevada) and out of my (Ensign's) official office."Sianker did not return calls seeking comment Wednesday.The friendship between the Ensigns and Hamptons goes back to the two wives' high school daysin California. Doug Hampton says in Wednesday's interview that the Ensigns were "like family.""This put us in an unbelievable position," Hampton says in the interview. "Our families, our liveswere so intertwined. Our kids go to school together. Cindy is his (campaign) treasurer, I am atop official."Cindy handled the books for Ensign's Battle Born Political Action Committee and his Senatecampaign fund until May 2008. During the time Ensign says the affair occurred, her salarydoubled, which Ensign aides explained by saying her responsibilities increased.Hampton says he does not blame his wife for the affair."I believe that Cindy wanted to get away, and that had John not been the pursuer in all of thisit never would have happened," he says. "This wouldn't have taken place this way .... Cindyreally wanted to pursue the right thing. John, given the opportunity, chose John, chose whatwas best for John, and kind of ramrodded and ran through people including those very close tohim when he was confronted with this. He wanted a relationship with Cindy."Hampton disputes Ensign's claim that the affair lasted until August, saying, "Cindy came veryclean with a lot of things in March and asked for my help." In the letter Hampton wrote to FoxNews last month, he wrote that Ensign's "heinous conduct and pursuit ... did not subside untilAugust of 2008."Ensign should resign, Hampton says, "because I don't think his decision-making in the lastcouple of years is that of a United States senator. Listen, we all make mistakes, we're allpeople. I am not in any way, shape or form standing on a soapbox with that issue. But in thistime period, what took place with two employees, how he handled Cindy, how he handled Doug,how he handled the staff, how he handled the NRSC (National Republican SenatorialCommittee, which Ensign then chaired), how he led that story-making and all of that cover-upthat took place is not the behavior and conduct of a United States senator."The second half of the interview is scheduled to air today on "Face to Face," which is shown onCox Cable Channel 19 at 5:30 p.m.The question of whether Ensign paid Cindy Hampton money that was not properly reported toauthorities was one of the key underpinnings of ethics complaints filed against the senator afterhe confessed to their extramarital affair last month.Doug Hampton is saying Ensign paid his wife more than $25,000 in severance when shestopped working as treasurer of his political action committee and his re-election fund.No such payments were reported to the Federal Election Committee as required by federal law.The amount of $25,000 is important because, if it is true, that is the threshold that couldtrigger a possible felony charge against Ensign.If Ensign were convicted of a knowing and willful failure to report payments of that size, hecould be subject to a fine and five years in prison."This may be the most serious thing he faces in the matter. This is the only place he may face acriminal charge," said Melanie Sloan, executive director of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethicsin Washington.

nsign's Parents Made Payments to His Mistress and Her Family http://www.washingtonpost.com!wp-dynlcontentlarticle/2009/07/09/.

t t J ) t t v t l t d ) i n ! 1 h m , 1 0 mEnsign's Parents Made Paymentsto Mistress, Her FamilyBy Dan Eggen and Chris CillizzaWashington Post Staff WritersFriday, July 10, 2009The wealthy parents of Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.)gave $96,000 last year to the staffer who was then hismistress and to her family, his attorney said yesterday.The gifts to Cynthia L. Hampton and her family weregiven "out of concern for the well-being of longtimefamily friends during a difficult time," according to thelawyer, Paul Coggins.The gifts roughly coincided with Hampton's departure as treasurer of Ensign's political committees, aswell as with the resignation of her husband, Douglas, as Ensign's chief of staff, on May 1, 2008. Ensignhas said that the sexual affair with Cynthia Hampton began in December 2007 and continued until thefollowing August.The money was disbursed in April 2008, in eight checks of$12,000 each, with two checks each forCynthia Hampton, her husband and their two children, Coggins said.He said the gifts complied with tax rules and did not come from official or campaign funds. "SenatorEnsign has complied with all applicable laws and Senate ethics rules," he said.The disclosure comes a day after Douglas Hampton alleged that Ensign gave his wife a $25,000severance payment. Hampton has portrayed Ensign as obsessive in pursuit of his wife, releasing a letterin which Ensign says he "used" Cynthia Hampton for "my own pleasure."Since Ensign admitted the extramarital affair several weeks ago, he and his defenders have accused theHamptons of making exorbitant financial demands but denied that Ensign provided any severancepayments or other financial assistance for the couple. Ensign has said he has no plans to resign his office.In an interview this week, Douglas Hampton also alleged that Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), a close friendof Ensign's, urged Ensign to end the affair early last year and suggested financial compensation for theHampton family.Coburn's office acknowledged that he counseled Ensign to end the affair but denied suggesting anyfinancial deal.Yesterday, Coburn told the Roll Call newspaper that he would refuse any attempts to compel him totestify in court or at the Senate ethics committee about his role. Coburn, an obstetrician, claimed a legalprivilege against such testimony as his physician and religious adviser."I was counseling him as a physician and as an ordained deacon," Coburn said. "That is privileged

communication that I will never reveal to anybody. Not to the ethics committee, not to a court of law,not to anybody."But Melanie Sloan, a former federal prosecutor who is now executive director of Citizens forResponsibility and Ethics in Washington, said that neither privilege would apply to Coburn's casebecause Ensign cannot plausibly be his patient and because being a deacon does not qualify a person asclergy.Sloan, whose group has filed an ethics complaint against Ensign, also questioned whether the $96,000 inpayments to the Hampton family might be viewed as a way around campaign rules that require reportingseverance packages for employees such as Cynthia Hampton.Ensign's father, Michael, is a former casino executive who earned more than $130 million in stock salesand stock options while engineering the sale of the Mandalay Resort Group, which he headed, to MGMMirage. Michael Ensign has more recently sought to get back into the gambling business by teaming upwith a development company in Topeka, Kan., to bid on operating a casino in south-central Kansas,according to news reports.Research editor Alice Crites contributed to this report.View all comments that have been posted about this article.

Las Vegas SunEnsign's mistress saw salarydouble, son was paid $5,400Ex-campaign aide to Ensign confirms affairBy J. Patrick Coolican (contact), Lisa Mascaro (contact)Published Wednesday, June 17,2009110:13 a.m.Updated Wednesday, June 17,200913 :24 p.m.UPDATE: Ensign's office: Woman's husband approached media with storyThe one-time mistress and campaign treasurer of Sen. John Ensign saw her salary double during the timeof the affair, according to federal election documents.Cynthia Hampton, whose husband, Doug Hampton, was a senior aide to Ensign, the Nevada Republican,was paid nearly $1,400 per month for most of 2007 as treasurer of Ensign's Battle Born Political ActionCommittee.Her salary increased slightly in January 2008 but then doubled to nearly $2,800 per month in February2008 and stayed at that higher rate through March and April, when she left the job.She also made $500 per month in late 2007 at the Ensign for Senate campaign committee.Hampton's 19-year-old son was paid $5,400 by a political operation controlled by Ensign, according tofederal election documents.Brandon Hampton was being paid by the National Republican Senatorial Committee, of which Ensign waschairman, for "research policy consulting," according to the election documents.The payments were first reported by Sun-partner Politico.Doug Hampton received $19,679 from the senator's office for one month, between April 1 and May 1,2008 -- a sum substantially higher than his normal salary, according to Senate records. He and his wifeboth stopped working for the senator at that time, in May 2008.Doug Hampton had been earning about $160,000 annually since he started on the senator's payroll onNov. 8,2006. He was one of the top paid aides in the office, receiving pay equal to the senator's chief ofstaff.Also today, the Associated Press reported that an attorney for the Hamptons released a statement,confirming the affair and lamenting Ensign's decision to "air this very personal matter" and said sheeventually would tell her side of the story.The Nevada political world was thrown into turmoil Tuesday when Ensign, who had been considered arising star in national politics, acknowledged the affair with Hampton.Ensign, whose office is not replying to requests for interviews, has said he intends to remain in the Senate,though he resigned his GOP leadership position today.

SECTION: Section A; Column 0; National Desk; Pg. 14LENGTH: 428 wordsHEADLINE: Interviews Begin for Ex-Aides to EnsignBYLINE: By ERIC LICHTBLAUDATELINE: WASHINGTONBODY:

The Justice Department has begun interviewing former aides to Senator John Ensign, Republican of Nevada, as partof a criminal inquiry into accusations that he arranged lobbying work for a onetime senior aide in the fallout from anaffair he had with the aide's wife, people with knowledge of the case said Tuesday.

The inquiries signal the Justice Department's intensified interest in a case that has put Mr. Ensign, once consi-dered a Republican presidential hopeful in 2012, in political and legal jeopardy.Officials said in early December that the Senate ethics committee was issuing subpoenas in the case and that theJustice Department was taking an active interest in the question of whether Mr. Ensign might have violated a federalprohibition on lobbying by former staff members.

Since then, according to people involved in the case who spoke on condition of anonymity, agents from the Fed-eral Bureau ofInvestigation and prosecutors from the Justice Department's public integrity section in Washington havecontacted at least three former aides to Mr. Ensign: Douglas Hampton, a former top Senate aide to the senator; CynthiaHampton, his former campaign treasurer and the wife of Mr. Hampton; and John Lopez, his former chief of staff. Poli-tico first reported Tuesday that the F.B.I. had contacted some people in the case.

Mr. Ensign has acknowledged having an affair with Ms. Hampton beginning in late 2007, and The New YorkTimes reported last October that after Mr. Hampton discovered the affair, the senator moved him off his Senate staffand arranged well-paid lobbying jobs for him with Nevada firms in an effort to contain the damage.

Asked about the developments on Tuesday, Rebecca Fisher, a spokeswoman for Mr. Ensign, said, "Senator En-sign believes he fully complied with all ethics laws and rules and plans to cooperate with any official inquiries."Robert Kelner, a lawyer for Mr. Lopez, the former chief of staff, declined to say Tuesday whether his client had

been contacted by the F.B.I. But he said that Mr. Lopez "is someone who has an excellent reputation in Washington forintegrity and professionalism, and we believe he has complied with the law." Mr. Lopez left Mr. Ensign's office lastyear and now works in Washington for R&R Partners, a Nevada-based lobbying and public relations firm.

Mr. Hampton and his lawyer in Las Vegas, Daniel Albregts, declined to comment Tuesday, and officials with theJustice Department, the F.B.I. and the Senate ethics committees all declined to discuss the status of their inquiries.

LENGTH: 502 wordsHEADLINE: Grand jury subpoenas Ensign-tied companiesBYLINE: John Bresnahan, Manu RajuBODY:

A federal grand jury in Washington, D.C. has issued document subpoenas to at least a half-dozen Nevada compa-nies with ties to Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.), a sign that the criminal probe into Ensign's romantic relationship with aformer aide is accelerating.

The existence of the subpoenas was first reported by KLAS-TV in Las Vegas.The TV station said Justice Department investigators "came to Las Vegas with a fistful of subpoenas to serve on

local businessmen who have had dealings with Senator Ensign or his staff since January 2008. The team consisted of aspecial agent from the FBI and a prosecutor from the Criminal Division, Public Integrity Section of the Depar tment ofJustice."

The subpoenas were issued by a federal grand jury in Washington, with a response date of March 31.Investigators are seeking e-mails and other documents relating to Ensign going back to Jan. 2008.Federal investigators are seeking information on John Lopez, Ensign's former chief of staff, as well as Mike and

Lindsay Slanker, Ensign's top political advisors, and their consulting firm, November, Inc.; and Doug and CindyHampton, two former Ensign aides.

Ensign has been under fire since last June when he publicly acknowledged an extramarital affair with CindyHampton, his campaign treasurer and wife of Doug Hampton, a former top Ensign aide.

Since Ensign's public admission of the affair, the Nevada Republican has faced a series of news reports - fueled byDoug Hampton - laying out what steps Ensign took to get Hampton lobbying work with Nevada companies after he andwife left Ensign's staff in April 2008.

Ensign's family also gave $96,000 to the Hamptons, but the senator insists those funds were a gift and not an at-tempt to buy the Hamptons' silence or otherwise related to the extramarital affair.Doug Hampton, though, has been harsh ly critical of Ensign in several interviews, and he has stated that the pay-

ments from Ensign's family were hush money to keep him and his wife quiet about the affair.POLITICO reported in mid-January that FBI agents had begun interviewing several key players in the Ensign

scandal, but this is the first time that federal subpoenas have been issued in the case.The Senate Ethics Committee is also investigating Ensign. It is unclear whether the panel will continue to do so

now that a federal grand jury is involved in the scandal. The Ethics Committee traditionally defers to law enforcementagencies conducting a criminal probe, although in this instance, the panel has not yet done so.

"Sen. Ensign is confident he has complied with all ethics rules and laws and will cooperate with any official inqui-ries," said Rebecca Fisher, a spokeswoman for Ensign.

A spokeswoman for Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), chairwoman of the Ethics Committee, declined to comment onthe latest Ensign story or the existence of the federal subpoenas,

Ethics Committee members did meet on Wednesday, according to Senate insiders, and the Ensign case was ex-pected to be on the agenda.LOAD-DATE: March 18,2010

He said the Ethics Committee, but not the Justice Department, sought information from him,business partner Billy Vassiliadis and the firm R&RPartners.Ernaut said Ensign never asked him or R&R to give Hampton work.He described the subpoena request as broad."The nature of the subpoena is an extremely wide and general document request of any e-mailsthat have ever been sent between me, our company or my partner Billy to John Ensign, to NVEnergy, to most of the folks that are on that list," Ernaut said.The two-term senator, who turns 52 on March 25, has become a somewhat isolated figure inthe Senate, fighting to be heard on health care and other issues while some colleagues arehesitant to be seen with him, according to reports in the Capitol Hill press.One Nevada Republican insider who didn't want to be identified by name said people in politicalcircles are angry at Ensign over the entire episode."What he has done is jeopardize a U.S. Senate seat and bring embarrassment to his state, notto mention subpoenas to people who have nothing to do with it," the insider said.Some companies that have been linked to the probe said they would be cooperating withauthorities.An official with one company who spoke on the condition of anonymity said investigators hadsubpoenaed documents but had not asked for testimony in person.Ennio Ponzetto, CEOof eCommLink, said officials at his company were cooperating withauthorities."We are fully cooperating with the authorities on this and disclosing all information," Ponzettosaid. "I need to defend my business and the business of the company. There is absolutely a highethical standard with the company."

NV Energy officials issued a statement saying "we will cooperate with any federal review." It isone of the companies where Ensign is said to have solicited work for Hampton.In an e-mail from Hampton to Ensign posted by The New York Times in October, Hamptoncomplained Ensign merely "made a two-minute phone call to (NV Energy President and CEO)Michael Yackira of which I could have made."In the same e-mail, Hampton did credit Ensign for helping him land a job at Allegiant TravelCo., a Las Vegas-based airline. Officials at Allegiant wouldn't comment on whether they hadbeen served with a subpoena.Brian Walsh, a spokesman for the National Republican Senatorial Committee, confirmed thegroup's subpoena but did not provide further details. The committee's general counsel, SeanCairncross, said the committee "has responded appropriately to questions concerning mattersrelated to the 2008 election cycle time frame."Apart from acknowledging his affair with Cindy Hampton last June, Ensign has maintained hedid nothing illegal or improper in aiding Doug Hampton. An ethics law prohibits senior aidesfrom lobbying the Senate for a year after leaving their posts."Senator Ensign is confident he has complied with all ethics rules and laws and will cooperatewith any official inquiries," spokeswoman Rebecca Fisher said. She would not comment on anycontact that Ensign or any members of his current staff might have had with investigators.Thursday's disclosures came on the heels of a report by KLAS-l\! that several businesses in Las

Vegas had received subpoenas for documents in recent days.A copy of a redacted subpoena posted to the KLAS-TV Web site orders the recipient to provideany documents related to Ensign; the Hamptons; former Ensign chief of staff John Lopez; andMichael and Lindsey Sianker, a married couple who were Ensign's longtime political advisers inNevada and also in Washington when he led the senatorial committee.The subpoena tells the recipient to report March 31 to grand jury chambers at U.S. DistrictCourt in Washington.A spokeswoman at the Washington field office of the FBI, which is listed as a contact on thesubpoena, said the agency had no comment.It has been reported that the Senate Ethics Committee had issued subpoenas to Lopez and MikeSianker and also to NV Energy.Ensign's affair took place during the time he headed the National Republican SenatorialCommittee, the fundraising and political strategy arm of the Senate GOP caucus.Mike Sianker, who was a successful political consultant in Nevada as head of November Inc., aGOP firm, was brought to Washington by Ensign to serve as the committee's political directorwhile his partner Lindsey Sianker was its chief fundraiser.During the spring and summer of 2008, the Hamptons' son Brandon was hired as an intern atthe committee, earning $1,000 per month.Sources said investigators might be seeking relevant committee e-mails from the 2007-2008period to or from Ensign and the Siankers.Apart from whether Ensign improperly aided Hampton in finding work, investigators also arethought to be looking into a $96,00 check that Ensign's parents made out to the Hamptons inApril 2008.Although an attorney for Ensign has described the money as a gift, Doug Hampton has alleged itwas intended as severance pay for his wife that was not properly reported on federally requiredcampaign forms.Doug Hampton was administrative assistant on Ensign's staff in Washington, and CindyHampton worked for Ensign's political committees until they left his employ at the end of April2008, after Doug Hampton insisted the extramarital relationship be brought to an end.Contact Stephens Washington Bureau Chief Steve Tetreault at [email protected] 202-783-1760.
