WASHINGTON — Mark Foley has been crisscrossing the country in recent days as he tries to get his post-congressional life in order.
Last week, the former congressman briefly resurfaced in Washington to pack up his Capitol Hill townhouse, which he sold on Monday, a source told Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers today.
The mustard-colored, two-story historic home on D Street sold in just one week to an undisclosed buyer for $899,000, DC property records show.
Now, five months after resigning from Congress, Foley is back in Florida, readjusting to life there, the source said.
After leaving an Arizona rehabilitation center in November, where he was treated for alcohol and behavioral issues, Foley spent time in Los Angeles where he stayed with one of his sisters while undergoing treatment at an outpatient facility.
Just this month, he returned to West Palm Beach, where he was spotted waiting for his bags at Palm Beach International Airport.
Foley, 52, resigned from Congress in late September after reports surfaced that he exchanged a series of sexually explicit online messages with a teenage congressional page.
Since then,
law enforcement agencies have launched investigations into Foley's misconduct. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is in the process of conducting a full-fledged investigation criminal investigation into Foley's reported communications with the teenage boys.
