Ex-Rep. Katie Hill calls on onetime ally Matt Gaetz to resign if there's "a fraction of truth" to allegations
CBSN
Washington — Former Congresswoman Katie Hill, a Democrat from California who resigned amid allegations of sexual relationships with two members of her staff, called on Congressman Matt Gaetz, a Republican from Florida, to step down from Congress if allegations of sexual misconduct against him are found to be true.
In an op-ed for Vanity Fair published Monday, Hill, who developed a friendship with Gaetz during their time in the House together, called the claims against the Florida congressman "morally reprehensible and unacceptable for a lawmaker." Gaetz is facing allegations of a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl and is reportedly under investigation by the Justice Department for potential violations of sex trafficking laws. A CNN report also claims he showed other lawmakers photos and videos of nude women, including while on the House floor.
