Reynolds chief of staff “resigns.”

ABC News reports that Kirk Fordham, the former chief of staff to Mark Foley and current chief of staff to Rep. Tom Reynolds (R-NY), has “resigned amid questions over whether he supressed information about Foley emails.”

UPDATE: ABC now says Fordham was “fired.” Also: “People familiar with Fordham’s side of the story…said Fordham was being used as a scapegoat by Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert. They said Fordham had repeatedly warned Hastert’s staff about Foley’s ‘problem’ with pages, but little was done.”
