Rep. Katie Hill announces resignation

Rep. Katie Hill announces resignation amid allegations of improper relationships with staffers

Seems like her estranged husband is out to get her and he has the goods to smear her too. Nowadays they call that "revenge porn" and supposedly it's illegal. Somehow compromising pictures of her are showing up in British tabloids and conservative websites.

Quote:

Washington (CNN)Democratic Rep. Katie Hill of California on Sunday announced her resignation from Congress days after she admitted to having an inappropriate relationship with a campaign staffer before coming into office.
"It is with a broken heart that today I announce my resignation from Congress," Hill said in a statement Sunday. "This is the hardest thing I have ever had to do, but I believe it is the best thing for my constituents, my community, and our country."
News of Hill's resignation comes after the House Committee on Ethics announced Wednesday it was opening an investigation into allegations Hill engaged in an improper relationship with a congressional staffer in possible violation of House rules which were changed last year to ban relationships between members and their staff.

In a statement last week, Hill denied that the relationship — allegedly involving Graham Kelly, who currently works as her legislative director — took place. CNN has reached out to Kelly for comment, but has not heard back.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in a statement Sunday night that Hill "has acknowledged errors in judgment that made her continued service as a Member untenable."
While Pelosi praised Hill for making "a great contribution as a leader of the Freshman Class" of House Democrats, she added that "we must ensure a climate of integrity and dignity in the Congress, and in all workplaces."
Yes. "Integrity and dignity", of course.
Fwiw, she ran as an openly bisexual candidate.
It kinda seems like she's being forced out for being the victim of revenge porn from a vindictive ex.
