New York Gov. Spitzer to resign soon: NY Times

Wednesday, Mar 12, 2008 1:43PM UTC

NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer is expected to resign on Wednesday morning amid the sex scandal linking him to a prostitution ring as a client, The New York Times reported on its Web site, citing unnamed staff members.

Spitzer on Monday apologized for what he called a "private matter," saying he had violated his obligations to his family.

The Times reported that Spitzer, 48, was caught on a federal wiretap arranging to meet with a prostitute at a Washington hotel last month.
