A Republican congressman from New York who narrowly won his seat in 2022 put his fiancee’s daughter and a woman with whom he was having an affair on his payroll, according to a New York Times investigation on Monday.
Anthony D’Esposito, who represents part of Long Island in the US House, paid the two women a total of about $29,000 for their employment, according to the Times. Both payments abruptly stopped in July 2023 when his fiancee found out about his affair and briefly broke up with him.
