Former Rep. Anthony Weiner will enter a guilty plea[1] to a single charge of transferring obscene material to a minor, a spokesman for a law firm representing Weiner said.
He was expected to enter the plea in the "sexting" case this morning in federal court in New York. His attorney was expected to comment outside the courthouse afterward. Watch CNN.[2]
Weiner left Congress in June 2011 when sexually charged, sometimes explicit, texts with women other than his wife first emerged. His social media habits continued after leaving Congress and contributed to his poor showing in the 2013 New York City mayoral campaign, a race in which he had once been a leading contender.
Weiner is estranged from Huma Abedin, a top aide to former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
