| Rep. Katie Hill to resign amid allegations of inappropriate relationships with staffers |
| 2019-10-28 |
| [Politico! - I KNOW!] Freshman Rep. Katie Hill is resigning from Congress after facing allegations of inappropriate sexual relationships with staffers in her office and on her congressional campaign, according to two Democratic sources. "It is with a broken heart that today I announce my resignation from Congress. 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," Hill wrote in a letter announcing the news after it was first reported by POLITICO. "This is what needs to happen so that the good people who supported me will no longer be subjected to the pain inflicted by my abusive husband and the brutality of hateful political operatives who seem to happily provide a platform to a monster who is driving a smear campaign built around cyber exploitation," she added. "I will, however be represented in my future career by my Attorney, Mike Avenatti, for marital advice and 'yoga' videos" Hill did not specify a date in her letter but multiple people with knowledge of her plans said she could step aside as soon as Nov. 1. Hill was under investigation by the House Ethics Committee for allegations of an improper sexual relationship with a male congressional staffer, a claim she denied. Hill admitted to and apologized for an "inappropriate" relationship with a female campaign staffer earlier this week.
