“It’s a breach of trust," the Democratic senator told reporters.
Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md.), who employed the congressional staffer who allegedly appears in a tape showing two men having sex in a Senate hearing room, on Monday described the incident as a “breach of trust,” according to multiple news reports.
Cardin confirmed that Capitol Police are now investigating the events, adding that his office would fully cooperate with the probe.
“I was angry, disappointed,” Cardin told reporters, according to The Hill. “It’s a breach of trust. All of the above. It’s a tragic situation and it’s presented a lot of anger and frustration. I’m concerned about our staff and the way that they feel about this and the Senate staff.”
Cardin said he hadn’t spoken to the aide and declined to get drawn into questions about how closely he worked with him.
“I’m not going to get into my relationship with staff people,” he added, according to Politico.
