Presidents John. F. Kennedy and Jerry Ford both had affairs with an Elizabeth Taylor look-alike, who was also an East German spy, Bobby Baker, the disgraced aide to President Lyndon B. Johnson, has revealed.
The now 85-year-old told Politico Magazine that Ellen Rometsch really loved oral sex, asserting that she had gone to the White House many times.
Baker claimed that JFK was so satisfied with Rometsch's services that he thanked him for hooking them up, the New York Daily News reported.
But Rometsch was also bipartisan and had an affair with Republican Jerry Ford, from Michigan, while he was a part of the Warren Commission probing the Kennedy assassination.
Baker said that he didn't realize that Rometsch was spying for the Soviets while working as a hostess at the Quorum Club, a secret salon in the Carroll Arms Hotel where Washington politicians mingled with prostitutes.
