House Majority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) has claimed that he spoke to Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-IL) about the Mark Foley affair, RAW STORY has learned.

"I believe that I talked to the Speaker," Boehner has told a Cincinnatti radio station, "and he told me it had been taken care of."

"My position," he continued, "is, it's in his corner. It's his responsibility. The clerk of the House that runs the page program [and] the page board, all report to the Speaker, and I believed it had been dealt with."
