Schwarzenegger's legal rep, Marty Singer, said claims his client used members of the California Highway Patrol to "to ferry scantily clad women in and out of his [hotel] suite" were "completely false."
"Unfortunately, the media's relentless desire for new information has some outlets running stories that are made up by paying sources that have zero credibility," Singer said about The National Enquirer report, which cited a former hotel security officer.
"My client stated from the beginning that he takes full responsibility for his actions and deserves the public and media criticism. This does not entitle some in the media to be totally irresponsible," the lawyer added, referring to the recent revelations, in the wake of Schwarzenegger's split with wife Maria Shriver, that the movie star turned politician had fathered a lovechild with housekeeper Mildred Patty Baena.
Despite the denial by Singer -- who is also representing actor Charlie Sheen in his Warner Bros. lawsuit -- the California Attorney General will pursue an inquiry into the alleged misuse of government resources, according to Radar Online.
As Singer handles the media storm over the lovechild bombshell, Schwarzenegger is laying low and was spotted out on a bike ride Wednesday in the celebrity getaway of Ketchum, Idaho.
Two former California Highway Patrol (CHP) officers also spoke out Wednesday, denying they helped the former California governor cover up his love affairs.
"I can say without a shadow of a doubt as a supervisor of his protective detail that at no time did I see Governor Schwarzenegger say or do anything that could be deemed inappropriate," retired CHP Sergeant Mark Hammond, who worked for Schwarzenegger for seven years, told TMZ.
Retired CHP officer Manny Trevino reiterated the denial, saying, "I never witnessed the Governor acting in a less than honorable manner."
Meanwhile another woman -- child actress Gigi Goyette -- told "Extra" she had an affair with Schwarzenegger in the late eighties, while he was married to Shriver.
"Arnold is a very physical and sexual man, with a voracious appetite that likes a lot of physical attention," Goyette told the entertainment TV program.
Singer similarly dismissed that reported affair, calling Goyette "a person who wants to make money selling stories," according to People magazine.
Schwarzenegger, 63, and Shriver announced in May they had separated after 25 years of marriage which produced four children -- Katherine, 21, Christina, 19, Patrick, 17, and 13-year-old Christopher.
Shriver, 55, has already hired one of Hollywood's top divorce lawyers, Laura Wasser, and could file for divorce by the end of the week, sources suggest.
