Representative Tony Gonzales (R-TX) has admitted to having an affair with his deceased staffer, Regina Ann Santos-Aviles. Along with the admission, he made serious allegations about her husband’s alleged sexuality and suggested it may be connected to her death. This comes after weeks of denials from the congressman.
Gonzales made this admission on a notable day; the day after he was pushed into a primary runoff election, having failed to win more than 50% of the vote. It was also the same day the House Ethics Committee announced it was forming a panel to investigate sexual misconduct allegations against him.
