COLUMBIA (AP) -- Attorney General Henry McMaster says he has requested that the State Law Enforcement Division investigate Gov. Mark Sanford after revelations involving his extramarital affair.

McMaster says he wants a review of all of Sanford's travel records in light of Tuesday's disclosures.

Sanford admitted to more encounters with his Argentine mistress than he previously has disclosed in an interviews with The Associated Press during the past two days.

The governor described seven meetings with the woman, including their first in 2001. Sanford says there have been five over a 12-month period, including two multi-night stays with her in New York.

It was the first disclosure of any get-togethers with her in the United States and contradicted a public confession last week during which he admitted to four encounters in the past year.
