Lobbyist drops suit over NYT story suggesting McCain affair


Last year, when the New York Times published a story which carried the concerns of Sen. John McCain's aides over his relationship with a female lobbyist, the Senator strongly objected, calling suggestions that he'd had an extra-marital affair "not true."

However, the lobbyist, Vicki Iseman, filed a $27 million defamation suit against the paper.

On Thursday, that suit was dropped without settlement from the paper or alteration to the report: A victory for the New York Times and the story's authors."Vicki Iseman has dropped her lawsuit against The Times, just weeks after it was filed," wrote Times Washington bureau chief Dean Baquet in a memo to staff. "We paid no money. We did not apologize. We did not retract one word of the story, which was a compelling chapter in the tale of Senator John McCain and his political rise."
