From CNN Congressional Producer Deirdre Walsh

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Kirk Fordham emerged from the House ethics committee Thursday after being questioned under oath for over four hours, and his attorney said it is not clear if the former chief-of-staff to Rep. Mark Foley, R-Florida, will be called back to provide additional testimony about the page scandal.

Tim Heaphy, Fordham's lawyer, said if the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct does ask his client to reappear for more questioning he would do so. A source familiar with Fordham's account tells CNN that he was expected to tell the panel he warned more than one GOP congressional official several times about Foley's inappropriate behavior with pages much earlier than what GOP officials have stated.

After making brief remarks, the two men tried to make a quick exit only to realize they had to wait on a taxi. For a few minutes, Heaphy and Fordham were surrounded by a scrum of reporters and cameras, while trying to find an empty cab. Heaphy continued to fend off questions, saying, "We don’t want to say anything to jeopardize the investigation."

A reporter asked Fordham if he was confident that his statements will stand up, and he nodded affirmatively. A cab finally pulled up and Heaphy closed by saying they were heading back to his office.
