ShockingUPDATE, September 26: The case is roiling; take some time to catch up.
UPDATE, July 10: As a result of Deborah Jeane Palfrey’s wide-scale release of her phone records, which was first reported on Big Head DC, it has been revealed that GOP Sen. David Vitter used her escort service — a story that went unreported by the ABC News investigative team in May. When we interviewed Palfrey last month, she was adamant that ABC News made some mistakes:
June 19: Big Head DC sat down last week with alleged “DC Madam” Deborah Jeane Palfrey for a wide ranging three-hour interview, which is sure to make some notorious political power players squirm. New allegations of political corruption and sexual exploits, shocking insights into her case, and honest observations of media coverage to date were frequently on the tip of her tongue. (A tongue, we might add, that was schooled in criminal justice and has had intense training for a law degree.)
We spoke to Palfrey via telephone while she sat in her not-so-luxurious laundry room, labeled “command central” by Palfrey and made famous by her less-than-revealing interview with Brian Ross on ABC’s 20/20 last month, inside her government-seized home in California. Having seen and heard her in action before, we knew she’d be candid, but we wondered how far she’d be willing to go. After all, many DC Madam spectators have wondered why bigger names weren’t revealed as past clients of Palfrey during the ABC interview, and we were left to wonder, too, whether this might turn out to be a rehash of no news.
But Palfrey did make news, talking strongly and eloquently about alleged clients, a list of whom she says likely includes Vice President Dick Cheney, Bill Clinton political guru Dick Morris and other high-ranking politicos. She also adamantly denied that Chandra Levy, a government intern and acquaintance of former Congressman Gary Condit found murdered in DC in 2001, ever worked for her escort service, despite many behind-the scenes claims to the contrary.
