BEIJING,June4 (Xinhuanet) -- Hustler magazine offered one million U.S. dollars for some scandalous sex in Washington, U.S. media reported on Sunday.

"Have you had a sexual encounter with a current member of the United States Congress or a high-ranking government official?" read a full-page advertisement taken out by Larry Flynt's pornographic magazine in Sunday's Washington Post.

He said he would pay up toone million dollarsfor material that could be verified and published in Hustler. A toll-free number and e-mail address were provided.

The last time Flynt made such an offer was in October 1998 during the drive to impeach President Bill Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

The publisher took credit for the demise of Rep. Bob Livingston, R-La., who admitted he had had extramarital affairs after word got out that Flynt was investigating him. Livingston announced his resignation in December 1998, days before he had been expected to become Speaker of the House.

Flynt's target this time, if he has one, was not immediately known.
