After going missing for days, the married father of four admitted Wednesday to a yearlong affair with a woman who lives in Argentina. In a tearful news conference, the two-term Republican asked for forgiveness and explained that a friendship with the woman had blossomed into romance a year ago, around the time of a state-funded trip to South America.
On Thursday, Sanford agreed to reimburse the state for part of the more-than-$8,000 tab for that economic-development trip. Exactly how much he needs to pay back has not yet been determined, Sanford spokesman Joel Sawyer said yesterday.
