U.S. Senate staffer filmed in gay sex act in Senate hearing room, denies allegations
The Daily Caller, a right-wing site founded by former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, uploaded video and still images on Friday that purported to show leaked cell phone video of a congressional male staffer engaged in gay sex in a Senate hearing room of the Hart Senate Office Building, which is not in the U.S.
Capitol building. According to unverified posts on X and multiple conservative or right-leaning news outlets, the male staffer is an aide for U.S.
Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md.). The 80-year-old lawmaker announced in May that he would not seek reelection next year. The staffer later issued a statement on LinkedIn that appeared to deny the allegations: “This has been a difficult time for me, as I have been attacked for who I love to pursue a political agenda,” he said.
The statement continued, “While some of my actions in the past have shown poor judgement, I love my job and would never disrespect my workplace.
