Rep. Katie Hill Resigns Amid Sexual Misconduct Allegations

Representative Katie Hill resigned on Sunday night amid a House Ethics Committee investigation into sexual misconduct with a member of her staff.

RedState first reported on Hill's alleged affairs with her campaign staffer and her legislative director.

Hill denied the allegation she was having a relationship with her legislative director, but admitted she had a relationship with the member of her campaign staff.

FEC reports reveal her congressional staffer Graham Kelly was paid a campaign bonus of $5,100, the largest amount granted, according.

Hill blamed the scandal on her "Abusive husband," whom she is in the process of divorcing.

Hill's resignation comes after the House Ethics Committee announced an investigation into whether Hill was having a relationship with a member of her congressional staff.

The Ethics Committee code of conduct states, "a Member, Delegate, or Resident Commissioner may not engage in a sexual relationship with any employee of the House who works under the supervision of the Member, Delegate, or Resident Commissioner, or who is an employee of a committee on which the Member, Delegate, or Resident Commissioner serves."
