Rep. Katie Hill (D-Calif.) is under investigation by the House Ethics Committee for allegedly having an affair with a congressional staffer, which would be a violation of the House Code of Ethics.

“The Committee is aware of public allegations that Representative Katie Hill may have engaged in a sexual relationship with an individual on her congressional staff, in violation of House Rule XXIII, clause 18(a),” Chairman Ted Deutch (D-Fla.) and Ranking Member Kenny Marchant (R-Texas) said in a joint statement late Oct. 23.
