Congresswoman Katie Hill Resigns after Relationship with Campaign Aide
----------------------------------------------------------------------

California Democratic Congressmember Katie Hill has announced she will
resign after admitting she had a relationship with a campaign aide
before coming into office. The House Ethics Committee has also opened an
investigation into allegations that Hill had a relationship with her
legislative director. Hill has denied that relationship. The allegations
surfaced after Red State.org and the Daily Mail published naked images
of Hill, without her consent. Hill has accused her abusive husband of
creating a "smear campaign built around cyber exploitation" and that he
enlisted the help of "hateful political operatives."
