Story about affair takes Fox News correspondent off air
NEW YORK (AP) — Fox News Channel's chief White House correspondent, Ed Henry, is "taking some time off" following publication of a magazine story alleging an affair with a Las Vegas woman, the network said Wednesday.
The magazine In Touch Weekly quotes a woman described as a hostess detailing her encounters with Henry, who is married. Henry is quoted in the magazine telling a reporter that "I don't know anything about it" and was not commenting on Wednesday.
Besides covering the Obama White House, Henry has traveled covering Hillary Clinton's campaign.
