(( Vance Wilkins left his office last night with his wife by his side to address a roomful of concerned Republicans.
The caucus had called an emergency meeting to question the Speaker about allegations that he paid a hundred thousand dollars to a 26-year-old woman to settle a sexual harassment complaint.
Fifty-seven Republicans met for almost four hours and when they emerged, it appeared they didn't get all of the answers they were looking for.

Republicans have now scheduled another caucus meeting for next Tuesday.
They say another week will allow them to gather more information and explore their options, including handing the matter to a House ethics committee which has the power to subpoena information the caucus hasn't been able to obtain yet.
Republican leaders say giving the Speaker another week is the least they can do for the lawmaker they believe is responsible for building their majority in the House.

Wilkins left the meeting the same way he came in...still holding onto his wife and his position as Speaker but leaving House Republicans unsatisfied and unable to act.
