Rep. Katie Hill Resigns From Congress

California Rep. Katie Hill — who’s been under fire for engaging in a “throuple” relationship with a female staffer — announced Sunday that she’s resigning from Congress.
“It is with a broken heart that today I announce my resignation from Congress,” Hill wrote in a statement she shared on Twitter.
“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.”
The freshman lawmaker was also the target of a House Ethics Committee probe over allegations she was romantically involved with her current legislative director, Graham Kelly.
Hill had vehemently denied being involved with Kelly — which would be a violation of House rules — but did admit to a sexual relationship with former campaign staffer Morgan Desjardins and her estranged husband, Kenny Heslep.
The openly bisexual California Democrat told the National Review last week that she became involved with the campaign worker during the “final tumultuous years” of her abusive marriage to Heslep.

"I know that even a consensual relationship with a subordinate is inappropriate, but I still allowed it to happen despite my better judgment,” Hill said in a statement. “For that, I apologize. I wish nothing but the best for her and hope everyone respects her privacy in this difficult time.

 Hill’s sexual escapades were first reported two weeks ago by conservative news outlet RedState, who backed up their claims by publishing a number of steamy photographs of Hill and her subordinate staffer.
The lawmaker blasted the report, calling it a “smear campaign,” and placed part of the blame on Heslep.
“The fact is I am going through a divorce from an abusive husband who seems determined to try to humiliate me,” Hill has told Politico.
“I am disgusted that my opponents would seek to exploit such a private matter for political gain. This coordinated effort to try to destroy me and people close to me is despicable and will not succeed.”
Last week, The Daily Mail published a fresh round of scandalous photos – with one showing Hill holding a smoking bong and wearing what appeared to be a tattoo that looked like an Iron Cross on her bikini area.
