U.S. Representative Katie Hill, facing ethics probe, resigns from Congress. More here:
WASHINGTON - U.S. Representative Katie Hill, who is under investigation by the House ethics committee over an alleged relationship with a congressional staffer, said on Sunday that she was resigning from Congress.
Hill has admitted to an “inappropriate” relationship with a campaign staffer when she was running for Congress but denied she had a sexual relationship with a staffer in her office, according to media reports. Hill, who is going through a divorce, apologized in her resignation letter for “mistakes made along the way” but also lamented a “smear campaign”.
“Having private photos of personal moments weaponized against me has been an appalling invasion of my privacy,” said Hill. “It’s also illegal.”
