Wolfowitz Reportedly Back on the Market

Ex-World Bank president has lost both job and girlfriend

Share

(Newser) – First the World Bank dumped him, and now Paul Wolfowitz is on the outs with girlfriend Shaha Riza, Page Six reports. "She was furious about the embarrassment," a source tells the Post, which says she resented implications she'd slept her way to the top. What's more, Riza didn't ask for the promotion that set off the scandal, another source said.

The Post cites reporter Wayne Madsen (and his website, which in turn links to the Post) as saying "Wolfie and Shaha are history." Page Six also suggests that she may soon get some measure of payback: After Wolfowitz leaves, Riza may return to the World Bank, according to a bank source.
