New York, Dec 27 : Former House of Representatives Speaker and 2012 White House contender Newt Gingrich divorced his first wife as he believed that she was not beautiful enough to be the President's wife, according to his former aide.
Gingrich's messiest political problems resurfaced when CNN posted papers from his first divorce that contradict his claims his wife sought the split.
CNN interviewed Gingrich's former pal and early congressional campaign treasurer Leonard Carter, who said their friendship ended over the ambitious politician's callous treatment of his wife.
