McCain denies relationship with lobbyist
John McCain denied a romantic relationship with a female American telecommunications lobbyist on Thursday and said a report by the New York Times suggesting favouritism for her clients is ``not true''.
A Washington lobbyist who said the New York Times implied she had an improper relationship with Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., will drop her defamation lawsuit against the newspaper, which said Thursday it never intended that readers conclude the two were having an affair.
