Leaked Video Of Former Senate Staffer Allegedly Bottoming In Hearing Room Leads To Investigation
A recent scandal involving a US senate staffer has sent shockwaves through Capitol Hill. A video leaked online of two men having sex in what appears to be a congressional hearing room. According to The Guardian, Aidan Maese-Czeropski has been widely alleged to be one of the men in the video and has since been dismissed.
Politics is a dirty business
The explicit video, initially published by the Daily Caller, allegedly captures Maese-Czeropski involved in intimate acts in what is believed to be Hart 216. Although Maese-Czeropski has not addressed the content of the video, he has posted to LinkedIn stating how much he loved his job and how disheartened he feels following these allegations.
“While some of my actions in the past have shown poor judgement, I love my job and would never disrespect my workplace,” he says. “Any attempts to characterise my actions otherwise are fabricated and I will be exploring what legal options are available to me in these matters.”
Speaking to The Daily Mail, Maese-Czeropski’s mother says, “You don’t want to know how he’s doing.”
Before this video leaked, Maese-Czeropski was a legislative aide for Senator Ben Cardin of Maryland. Senator Cardin’s office responded to the incident telling Politico that he is “no longer employed by the US Senate.” The Capitol police have acknowledged the matter and are conducting an investigation.
Interestingly, veterans of Capitol Hill have been among the first to acknowledge rumours that sex in congressional hearing rooms isn’t unheard of. The nature of this scandal isn’t the act itself, rather the filming and subsequent leak of the video. We wouldn’t be alone in wondering how many other staffers and elected officials have done the deed in a hearing room. How many of those have been publicly shamed and dismissed from their jobs?
