Rep. Gonzales faces ethics investigation over allegations of affair with aide - The Washington Post
Overview
The House Ethics Committee opened a formal investigation into allegations that Rep. Tony Gonzales had an affair with a former staff member who later died after setting herself on fire. Newly reported 2020 messages in which Gonzales allegedly solicited nude photos expanded the scope of misconduct concerns. Gonzales resigned from Congress amid the probe, a departure that has become part of a broader pattern prompting Ethics Committee members to call for faster, clearer investigative processes.
