Senate Aide Fired Over Sex Tape Filmed in Senate Hearing Room

A Senate staffer, reportedly working for Democratic Sen. Ben Cardin's office, has been fired after a video surfaced showing two men engaging in sexual activity in a Senate hearing room. The video was obtained and published by the Daily Caller, and while its authenticity has not been independently confirmed, the US Capitol Police are investigating the matter. The staffer, Aidan Maese-Czeropski, released a statement expressing his love for his job and denying any intention to disrespect the workplace. Cardin's office later announced that Maese-Czeropski is no longer employed by the U.S. Senate.
