"BTW her daughter said she asked Newt for the divorce."

That was Newt's first wife.

Below link is an article from his daughter.

SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT

This story is one of the reasons that I wouldn't have supported Newt. I believed that he was cheating and left her when she was fighting cancer.

It was all lies-the affair, cancer and him leaving her. Rush referred to it earlier this week, thank you for posting it!

It was the spring of 1980.

It is this visit that has turned into the infamous hospital visit about which many untruths have been told. I won't repeat them. You can look them up online if you are interested in untruths. But here's what happened:

My mother and father were already in the process of getting a divorce, which she requested.

Dad took my sister and me to the hospital to see our mother. She had undergone surgery the day before to remove a tumor. The tumor was benign. As with many divorces, it was hard and painful for all involved, but life continued. As have many families, we have healed; we have moved on.
