Freshman Rep. Katie Hill (D-Calif.) was allegedly engaged in a three-way relationship, otherwise known as a “throuple,” with her husband and a 22-year-old female campaign staffer, conservative blog RedState reported Friday.
Text messages and even an explicit photograph showing a completely naked Hill brushing the hair of a person believed to be that staffer were among the evidence that RedState reported.
Because of Hill’s position on two prominent congressional committees — the House Oversight Committee and the House Armed Services Committee — one would think the story would evolve into a full-scale scandal considering the legal and ethical implications of a congresswoman sleeping with members of her staff.

Second, Hill is a member of the LGBT community and is the first openly bisexual person to be elected to Congress. – READ MORE
