Weiner’s statement,
Breitbart at the beginning, since Weiner was late,
4:50PM Weiner says he also misled his Congressional staff.
4:48PM Says did not violate the rules of the House, or violates the Constitution.
Dan Blatt’s also liveblogging.
4:40PM Accepts full responsibility. “My constituents will have to make the determination to vote [him out of office]“. He’s not quitting, alright.
The WaPo is carrying this story in their LIFESTYLE section, along with the decorating and parties.
4:35PM Weiner apologizes to Andrew Breitbart.
He says he never had any physical relationship with any of the women but does not deny phone sex, and “won’t rebut anything” the women are saying.
Earlier in the press conference,
Anthony Weiner states during this afternoon press conference: “To be clear, the picture was of me, and I sent it.”
Would have saved himself a world of trouble if he had just said it in the first place.
He’s not resigning.

Breitbart says he’s got a photo that is “extremely graphic, and leaves nothing to the imagination.” Weiner’s denying the photo exists. Weiner did not deny that such a photo may exist.
I missed it earlier, but Ace posts that
Breitbart was at Weiner’s press conference. Press began asking him questions so he took the dias and answered them. I think it was mostly about not being the hacker, because there was no hacker.
Stacy is also liveblogging.
