"I'm not blaming my life on anyone and I'm not offering excuses," Gingrich told WRKO radio host Howie Carr on Monday. "I've made no bones about the fact there were times I did the wrong thing and I've made no bones about the fact that I've asked for forgiveness."
Gingrich, a Republican, said he is ready for potential White House rivals to "go back 15,20,25 years and try to render an alternate judgment."
Gingrich's radio interview was reported by CNN, Politico and others.
Last week, the ex-Georgia congressman told the Christian Broadcasting Network that his marital infidelity was "partially driven by how passionately I felt about this country, that I worked far too hard and things happened in my life that were not appropriate."
Gingrich had an affair with his current wife, Callista, while he was married to his second wife. At the time, Gingrich was criticizing President Clinton for his relationship with former intern Monica Lewinsky.
Gingrich, who is testing the waters for a White House campaign, told supporters recently that he would make a formal announcement about a presidential bid sometime in May and hopes to unveil his campaign in front of Independence Hall in Philadelphia.
