“I am not gay, I never have been gay”

Mr. Craig, 62, apologized for “the cloud placed over Idaho” by his arrest and guilty plea to a misdemeanor charge. But his deepest regret, he said, is that he pleaded guilty when he had done nothing wrong.

The senator said he had chosen to plead guilty without consulting a lawyer, and before telling his family, in the hope that the incident would just “go away” somehow.

“That was a mistake, and I deeply regret it,” he said.
