Rep. Katie Hill (D-Calif.) on Sunday announced her resignation from Congress amid an ethics inquiry into allegations that she had an intimate relationship with a congressional staff member in her office.
It is with a broken heart that today I announce my resignation from Congress, Hill wrote in a statement. 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.
Hills spokeswoman said that the resignation is not immediate and that Hill is still deciding on when she will leave office. Her announcement was first reported by Politico, which said that she planned to resign by the end of the week.
Last week, the House Ethics Committee opened an investigation into allegations that Hill was romantically involved with her legislative director, Graham Kelly, a relationship that would violate House ethics rules.
Hill was seen as a rising star in the Democratic Party, a 32-year-old lawmaker who flipped a Republican-held seat in a district northeast of Los Angeles.
Her departure came swiftly after allegations surfaced about a week ago in an article on the conservative website RedState.org. The article alleged that Hill and her husband were in a consensual three-person relationship with a woman on her campaign team. The article included text messages it said were between Hill and the woman as well as intimate photos of them together. Hill is openly bisexual.
The article also alleged that Hill was involved romantically with Kelly.
Under House ethics rules adopted last year in response to high-profile sexual harassment claims involving members of Congress, it is against the official code of conduct for members to engage in a sexual relationship with any employee who works for the member.

Dummies are only required to announce their “intention” to resign. It doesn’t necessarily follow that they “do” resign. Or at any rate, they can drag it out for months.
She probably can’t learn to code. But maybe if she got a nose job she could do ex-celebrity porn for a few years?
Omar is a protected Affirmative Action case. Her corruption makes you an islamaphobe.
...only if she can kinky sex with the women and families. What an absolute pervert and LIB asshat. Typical DIM/LIB pol.
“Warren was caught a couple weeks ago in Houston with a male prostitute.”
Fred Garvin?
Once again, democrat men like Bill Clinton get away with something that women don’t. Thanks feminists, for swallowing another load!
Obviously, there were worse pictures or actions about her that were about to be revealed.
“She is a very skilled politician and semi hot of which I suspect also of high intelligence.”
There is more here then we know bank it. A Rat is not about to resign because of a sex scandal.
Even the Dems in her District are disgusted by her.....and yes, it is because of the iron cross tattoo. Try signalscv; opinion.
is she in a safe district? is there a possibility we could pick this up?
furries and foot fetishes are the only things I know of that are still frowned on by leftists.
Beto is a furry... so no... on that one.
https://www.seattleweekly.com/news/whats-with-the-foot-fetish/ so no on that one too.
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.
Yeah. You’re a real freakin’ HERO, Beotch! Here’s your Participation Trophy; now, hit the bricks!
*SPIT*
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - these seemingly random scandals are getting the light of day due to President Trump! Dems lived without fear of ANY kind of punishment until he came along. He truly IS Making America Great Again!
Trump. Landslide. 2020. MAGA! KAG! :)
I think there has to be more to the story than what we’re being told. I can’t recall any demorat in recent memory stepping down following a scandal. They “regret” but don’t apologize and remain. The only exception is crazy Al Franken. I think there’s more to the story here as she was poised to advance into a key committee appointment; she wouldn’t give that up unless someone has something on her that can’t come out.
“I’m shocked - I thought only Republicans were forced to resign for this type of behavior.”
Good point but I suspect it’s not what is out there that’s the problem. It’s what hasn’t come out that Katie Hill is stepping down.
She’s forced to end it because of what’s still not out there.
“I hope she finds peace and recovery. There are a lot of great churches in her district.”
Is there a group sex “church?” That’s her next stop.
“Isnt Omar having an affair with a staff member?”
Staff vendor. She’s funneled a huge amount of money to him from her campaign into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. I forget the exact amount.
Talk about pay-to-play.
“Elizabeth Warren was busted hiring a male prostitute in Houston recently.”
Excuse me, what?
Well, that is probably correct for non-Muslims. There is probably a footnote allowing goats and sheep for certain protected classes.
