Herman Cain told CNN that another woman will come forward to accuse him of having an extramarital affair over 13 years.
Said Cain: "I wanted to get out in front of it. I have nothing to hide, I have done nothing wrong."
However, Cain's lawyer issued a statement to Fox 5 Atlanta that was less-than-helpful if he's denying the affair:
"This is not an accusation of harassment in the workplace -- this is not an accusation of an assault -- which are subject matters of legitimate inquiry to a political candidate. Rather, this appears to be an accusation of private, alleged consensual conduct between adults -- a subject matter which is not a proper subject of inquiry by the media or the public. No individual, whether a private citizen, a candidate for public office or a public official, should be questioned about his or her private sexual life."
