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.”
Hill’s 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.

“Alcee Hastings”.....hhhmmmmm...he’s 83....will he be attending Conyers funeral?
She’s probably already been hired by CNN or MSNBC.
Let me guess, the Compost treated her as if she were Joan of Arc?
It takes a special kind of stupid to take in flagrante delicto photos of yourself and then store them on a mobile device.
I have less than ZERO sympathy for any moron doing that - regardless of party affiliation.
The so-called “Revenge Porn” laws are deeply misguided and are yet another way that our insane society has tried to deflect consequences from one’s own actions.
If you do something THAT stupid, you should be PRESUMED to have given your consent to have them released to the public.
Please keep us abreast....errr, I mean, up to date on the continuing sagging....errr, I mean saga, King.
NOT GUILTY!!!
Likely yet another filthy lib will replace her. CA, after all..
PG&E is in Northern CA, no where near her Southern CA District.
I don’t think she can make any money from her porn movies. They are out there somewhere and people can watch them for free. You don’t have to pay to see porn. Those skanks and freaks give it away for free. There must be some really hardcore XXX footage out there. I bet that Nancy Pelosi has seen it.
KARMA is a mofo.......
Is she from one of those “always been red forever” districts that went blue in 2018?
Helps if I read the whole article. Yes, she is. Maybe the district will go back to red.
It was a joke, not serious.
I don’t know what her next move is.
....”I don’t know what her next move is”....
I suspect she’ll get “offers” .......
Its confirmed there are even more damaging photos. The ones released were tip of the iceberg.
Where, besides what the Daily Male has stated?
