JUST IN: Freshman Rep. Katie Hill has announced she is resigning from Congress amid an ethics investigation over an allegedly inappropriate relationship with a staffer.
She described the image as an"illegal" and"appalling invasion of privacy" that had been"weaponized" against her.
"We are currently pursuing all of our available legal options," she said."However, I know that as long as I am in Congress, we'll live fearful of what might come next." She added that she could no longer allow friends and supporters to"suffer this unprecedented brand of cruelty."with someone on her campaign. But she denied that the affair was with a staff member.
“I know that even a consensual relationship with a subordinate is inappropriate, but I still allowed it to happen despite my better judgment,” Hill said. “For that I apologize.” Hill, who was the executive director of a homeless services organization before her election, is the freshman class' co-representative to the Democratic Caucus' leadership meetings.Tim Stelloh
