Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-Fla.) has been accused of violating the House Code of Ethics by employing his girlfriend on his congressional staff.
Just days after Democratic congresswoman Rep. Katie Hill (D-Calif.), 32, resigned amid an ethics probe and revelations of an affair with a campaign staffer, Hastings has come under fire for employing a disbarred lawyer, Patricia Williams, since at least 2000, reported the Palm Beach Post.
