Full Title: Report: Staffers Allegedly Confirmed Katie Hill’s Affair With Legislative Director, Leading Pelosi To Demand Resignation

Rep. Katie Hill (D-CA), who resigned Sunday following allegations that she had an affair with a congressional staffer, was reportedly told to resign by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).

Radio host Joe Messina reported on his Monday program “The Real Side,” that Hill’s resignation was demanded by Pelosi after the speaker learned that staffers in Hill’s office confirmed her affair with Legislative Director Graham Kelly. The staffers reportedly acknowledged the affair to the House Ethics Committee, which opened an investigation into the allegations.

When Pelosi learned of this, Messina reported, she told Hill to resign.

“My understanding is that a couple of those staffers; they had proof that she was having an affair with one of her staffers,” Messina reported. “The Ethics Committee found out hard and fast that she did have that relationship.”

Messina said he received the information from his sources in Washington, D.C., who have been proven correct in the past.

Messina said he became suspicious after Hill announced her resignation without admitting she had done anything wrong. In her resignation letter and accompanying video, Hill claimed she resigned to protect her community, staff, friends, and family from her “abusive husband” and “political operatives.” Pelosi’s statement went a different direction, saying Hill “acknowledged errors in judgement.” This is likely referring to Hill’s delayed admission that she was in a “throuple” relationship with her husband and a campaign staffer. Still, Messina reported, if Hill did nothing wrong – as her own resignation announcement seemed to indicate – why would Pelosi say Hill “acknowledged errors in judgement?”
