FILE - In this March 11, 2009 file photo, U.S. Sen. David Vitter, R-La., talks during a news conference discussing the economy on Capitol Hill in Washington. Vitter survived a 2007 prostitution scandal and has shrugged off fresh questions about his judgment in allowing a knife-wielding aide to remain on his staff for more than two years.
