Senator 'Angry and Disappointed' After Aide Filmed Alleged Sex Tape in U.S. Capitol Hearing Room
-
Sen. Ben Cardin said he was "angry" and "disappointed" after his aide Aidan Maese-Czeropski was accused of filming a sex tape in a Senate hearing room. Cardin said it was a "breach of trust."
-
The video published by the Daily Caller allegedly showed a congressional staffer having sex in Hart 216, the judiciary room where high-profile hearings have taken place.
-
Maese-Czeropski said in a now-deleted statement that he felt "attacked for who I love" and denied disrespecting his workplace, though he admitted to "poor judgement."
-
Maese-Czeropski no longer works for Sen. Cardin or the Senate, though it's unclear who initiated his departure.

No charges have been filed yet related to the incident. US Capitol Police said they are investigating the video but had "nothing new to report" as of Monday night.
