Senate Staffer Fired Over Sex Tape Scandal in Capitol Hill Hearing Room

A Senate staffer, Aidan Maese-Czeropski, has been fired after a sex tape showing him engaging in sexual activity in a Senate hearing room was shared in a group chat. The video was filmed in Hart 216, a room that has hosted significant political events. Maese-Czeropski, who worked for Senator Ben Cardin, posted on LinkedIn denying any wrongdoing and stating that he would explore legal options.
