Rep. Katie Hill Resigns From Congress Amid Affair Accusations

Katie Hill resigned from Congress following allegations of inappropriate relationships with staffers. The House Ethics Committee announced an investigation, but Hill denied the affair with a male staffer while admitting to a past consensual relationship with a female campaign staffer. House rules prohibit such relationships with staff, but they don't cover pre-Congress activities. Hill blamed her resignation on a smear campaign by her abusive husband and political operatives. Despite no prior political experience, Hill defeated a Republican incumbent in 2018 and held significant roles in Congress. Nancy Pelosi supported her resignation, emphasizing integrity in Congress.
