California Congresswoman Katie Hill is resigning as an ethics probe against her is underway.
Hill tweets, "It is with a broken heart that today I announce my resignation from Congress. This is the hardest thing I have ever had to do, but I believe it is the best thing for my constituents, my community, and our country."
Hill was elected in 2018. The House Ethics Committee had opened an investigation into allegations Hill was involved romantically with a member of her staff. If true, it would violate House rules put in place as a result of the Me-Too movement. Hill denied that allegation, but did admit to being involved with a member of her campaign staff. Hill said conservatives targeted her with help from her husband. The couple is going through divorce proceedings.
