TL;DR Summary

Texas Tribune reporting shows U.S. Rep. Tony Gonzales pressed his district director for an explicit photo, which she refused; her husband later alleged an affair and provided texts to the Tribune. A police report indicates Santos-Aviles told officers she set herself on fire after learning her husband was involved with her best friend. Gonzales denies the affair and has faced calls to resign as he competes in a primary, with opponents accusing him of exploiting the tragedy for political points.
