(WASHINGTON D.C. Press TV) - An Atlanta businesswoman said Monday she and Republican presidential contender Herman Cain had a 13-year extramarital affair that ended right before Cain announced his campaign.

Ginger White told Fox 5 in Atlanta she met Cain in the late '90s while he was chairman of the National Restaurant Association and that the relationship was "pretty simple."

"It wasn't complicated. I was aware that he was married. And I was also aware I was involved in a very inappropriate situation, relationship," White said.

An hour before the interview was scheduled to air, Cain denied White's allegations during an interview on CNN.

The American people, Cain said in a statement released after White's interview aired, are tired of "dirty politics and smear tactics" and that the allegations were prompted by political opponents "afraid of a Cain presidency."

Cain, White said, gave her copies of his recently published books and inscribed them with personal messages. Inside his book Leadership is Common Sense, White said he wrote: "Miss G, you have already made a 'big difference!' Stay focused as you pursue your next destination."

White also supplied WAGA-TV with phone records that showed 61 calls or text messages from one number that she said was Cain's private cellphone. When the reporter texted the number, Cain called them back.

Cain acknowledged to CNN that he knew White and had considered her a friend.

"The accusation I had a 13-year affair with her, no," Cain said.

Cain said the allegations will not cause him to drop his bid for the presidency. usatoday.com
