US Representative Tony Gonzales is at the center of a major scandal as a former staffer of Gonzales claimed that Gonzales had an affair with another staffer Regina Ann Santos-Aviles who died by suicide in September. Regina's husband too supported the claim and said he found messages of very sexual nature from the Congressman on his wife's phone. Gonzales, a married MAGA man and a Catholic father of six, earlier rubbished all gossips about the alleged affair though insiders said it was an 'open secret'. But now in the wake of the new rumors, he issued a statement distancing himself from the scandal. "I am not going to engage in these personal smears and instead will remain focused on helping President Trump secure the border and improve the lives of all Texans," Gonzales said.
