Rep. Tony Gonzales admitted to having a sexual relationship with a staffer who later died by suicide, hours after the House Ethics Committee announced an investigation into the Texas Republican.
“I made a mistake, and I had a lapse in judgment, and there was a lack of faith, and I take full responsibility for those actions,” Gonzales said in an interview with conservative talk show host Joe “Pags” Pagliarulo, published on Wednesday, March 4. “Since then, I’ve reconciled with my wife, Angel. I’ve asked God to forgive me, which he has. And my faith is as strong as ever.”
