Congresswoman Katie Hill Resigns After Relationship with Campaign Aide

HeadlineOct 28, 2019

California Democratic Congressmember Katie Hill has announced she will resign after admitting she had a relationship with a campaign aide before coming into office. The House Ethics Committee has also opened an investigation into allegations that Hill had a relationship with her legislative director. Hill has denied that relationship. The allegations surfaced after RedState.org and the Daily Mail published naked images of Hill without her consent. Hill has accused her abusive husband of creating a “smear campaign built around cyber exploitation” and that he enlisted the help of “hateful political operatives.”
