(01-31) 20:04 PST SAN FRANCISCO -- San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom's re-election campaign manager resigned today after confronting the mayor about an affair Newsom had with his wife while she worked in the mayor's office, City Hall sources said.

Alex Tourk, 39, who served as Newsom's deputy chief of staff before becoming his campaign manager in September, confronted the mayor after his wife, Ruby Rippey-Tourk, told him of the affair as part of a rehabilitation program she has been undergoing for substance abuse, said the sources, who had direct knowledge of today's meeting. ...

Asked in a City Hall interview this evening about Tourk's resignation and the reported affair, Newsom said, "I'm not making any public comment. I'm just not."
