Sen. Cardin breaks silence after staffer allegedly fired over sex tape filmed in hearing room
Fox News
Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Md., tells Fox News he was "angry" and "disappointed" after a staffer was seen in an amateur sex video filmed in a Senate hearing room.
Cardin would not name the staffer in question, only saying it was a "personnel issue." The Democratic Senator said he was not aware of any further disciplinary issues against the staffer and hadn’t spoken to him since the firing. He added that the Capitol Police are investigating the incident. Bradford Betz is a Fox News Digital breaking reporter covering crime, political issues, and much more.
The scandal erupted Friday when the Daily Caller published the video with the blurred-out faces of two men engaging in sex in Hart Senate Office Building room 216, a location where several high-profile hearings have taken place in recent years, including Supreme Court confirmation hearings.
