Porn publisher offers million dollars for proof of political sex scandal

Washington (AP) Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt is offering one (m) million dollars to anyone who can provide proof of an illicit sexual encounter with a high-ranking government official.

In a full-page ad in The Washington Post, Flynt asks for "documented evidence of illicit sexual or intimate relations with a Congressperson, Senator or other prominent officeholder." He said he would pay up to one (m) million dollars for material that could be verified and published in Hustler.

Flynt ran a similar ad in October 1998, during the height of the Monica Lewinsky scandal that led to the impeachment of President CLinton.

The publisher took credit for the resignation of House Speaker-designate Bob Livingston, who admitted he'd had extramarital affairs after word got out that Flynt was investigating him.
