A hacker calling himself Guccifer recently posted a series of private emails between Colin Powell and a former diplomat named Corina Cretu that suggest the two were having an affair.
Powell and Cretu met when he was Secretary of State during the Bush administration. He denies having an affair with her.
Cretu was a diplomat at the time. She currently serves as a senator in the European Parliament.
“I have known Ms. Corina Cretu for approximately ten years,” Powell said in a press release . “There was no affair then and there is not one now,” the statement continues.
Powell says that someone hacked his email account.
Guccifer posted several links to emails between Powell and Cretu on Powell’s Facebook page. Some of the links contain photos that Cretu allegedly sent to Powell.
“Our security people have been chasing him for months,” Powell said in one email, ABC News reports.
Guccifer also posted several of the emails and photos on Cryptome.org,
