I saw that, too, in one of the articles in the links Maggie posted. However, the story is from a few years ago, so unless they’ve still been holding it (as mentioned below)and/or you have a more recent reference, I don’t think it will be a big issue now:
Liberal media goes on attack against GOP’s Boehner

“Insiders on Capitol Hill are buzzing about an upcoming New York Times exposé that will detail an alleged Boehner affair. Sources say the Times is looking for the right time to drop the story in October to sway the election, similar to how the Times reported during the 2008 presidential campaign on an alleged John McCain affair that supposedly had taken place many years before and that was flatly denied by the woman in question.”
The “right time” for the NYT to post the Boehner story will be AFTER he wins the Speakership. They will try to cut off the remaining cojones he might have left then, but they certainly want him over someone like Gohmert.
