Wiretapped Out

CBS is reporting that Spitzer could resign this evening and that his LG, David Paterson, could be sworn in as early as this evening.

Meanwhile, The New York Times is reporting that Spitzer was caught on a wiretap arranging to meet up with a high-priced prostitute. He's identified in court documents as Client 9.

"The man described as Client 9 in court papers arranged to meet with a prostitute who was part of the ring, Emperors Club VIP, on the night of Feb. 13. Mr. Spitzer traveled to Washington that evening, according to a person told of his travel arrangements.

"The affidavit says that Client 9 met with the woman in hotel room 871 but does not identify the hotel. Mr. Spitzer stayed at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington on Feb. 13, according to a source who was told of his travel arrangements. Room 871 at the Mayflower Hotel that evening was registered under another name."

MSNBC is reporting that he paid $4,300 for the woman's services.

P.S. -- No word yet from Hillary Clinton's campaign. Spitzer is an HRC backer and, as we mentioned earlier, a superdelegate.
