Capitol Police Investigate Following Release Of Staffer’s Sex Tape Shot In Senate Hearing Room

A Senate staffer has been dismissed from his position after a video showed two men engaging in sexual activity in a Senate hearing room was published. 

The video, which was obtained and released by The Daily Caller, has sparked an investigation by the police to determine its authenticity and the individuals involved.

Aidan Maese-Czeropski, the staffer named by The Daily Caller and other news outlets, was employed in the office of Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Maryland).

In his statement on LinkedIn, Maese-Czeropski acknowledged, “This has been a difficult time for me, as I have been attacked for who I love to pursue a political agenda. While some of my actions in the past have shown poor judgment, I love my job and would never disrespect my workplace.”

Maese-Czeropski added that he would explore legal options in light of the circumstances.

In response to the incident, Cardin’s office issued a statement that confirmed that Maese-Czeropski is no longer employed by the U.S. Senate, and signaled the swift consequences of this scandal.

The U.S. Capitol Police stated that they are unable to confirm details about the individuals in the video but there is an active investigation of the matter.

While some individuals on the right vie to draw attention to what they perceive as unprofessional conduct and express concerns about sexual deviancy, others have highlighted the perceived hypocrisy of conservatives who overlook their own sex-related scandals.

They point to recent incidents with Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colorado), who faced accusations of public groping in a theater with children present, and Florida Republican chairman Christian Ziegler and his wife Bridget, a member of the Sarasota County Public Schools board and co-founder of Moms for Liberty. The couple’s sexual escapades recently came to light after Ziegler was accused of rape by a woman with whom the married couple had a sexual relationship.
