The House Ethics Committee announced it has launched an investigation into Rep. Katie Hill following allegations she engaged in an improper sexual relationship with a congressional staffer — in what would be a violation of House rules.
The California Democrat denied the allegations in a statement to POLITICO on Tuesday, and blamed the controversy (including pictures of her brushing her staffer’s hair while nude) on an “abusive husband” whom she is in the midst of divorcing.
Hill is among the most high-profile freshman Democrats — serving as a freshman representative in leadership and as vice chair of the Oversight Committee (really? Never heard of her til now 🤔) and, ironically, is a sharp critic of President Donald Trump.
