Confirmed: Liberal Rep. to Resign In Disgrace After Sex Scandal With Female Staffer
32-years-old and a freshman member of Congress. Katie Hill’s future in the public sector looked bright. Then, one day, thanks to naked pictures and an affair with a younger female staffer, it all came crashing down over night.
Sucks to suck, Katie. But what can you expect? You’re a married woman who decided to cheat on her husband with a fresh-out-of-college staffer. That is pretty much the only thing that gets members of Congress in trouble.
Hill wasn’t even in office for a full year, having taken her seat in January 2019. What’s next for this young woman, you might wonder? I don’t know. Who cares?
Deuces, Katie!
From Fox News:
Rep. Katie Hill, D-Calif., announced her resignation Sunday after a string of reports shining a negative light on her personal life, including a reported affair with her legislative director that sparked a House Ethics Committee investigation.
It is with a broken heart that today I announce my resignation from Congress. This is the hardest thing I have ever had to do, but I believe it is the best thing for my constituents, my community, and our country.
See my official statement below.

More from CBS:
A relationship with someone from her official office would have been especially problematic because it would violate sexual harassment reforms Congress passed in 2018.
Hill won her seat from northern Los Angeles County last year, helping Democrats scoop up a record number of previously Republican-held seats in California. She held a senior position on the House Oversight Committee involved in the ongoing impeachment inquiry of President Trump.
