GOP Rep. Takes Excruciating Walk As Reporters Ask If He Gave Mistress A Job
"Rep. Anthony D’Esposito (R-N.Y.) on Monday couldn’t walk off accusations that he put his mistress on the payroll in a possible violation of House ethics standards. (Watch the videos below.)
D’Esposito could be seen in footage uncomfortably ambling along with a cellphone to his ear while several curious reporters peppered him with questions like, “Why did you give your mistress a job?” and “Did you do it?”
Citing sources “familiar with the relationship,” The New York Times reported earlier in the day that the first-term Long Island congressman, who’s running for reelection, hired a woman with whom he was having an affair. And that was after he reportedly employed his fiancée’s daughter in the same district office.
But their salaries were stopped in July 2023 when D’Esposito’s fiancée found out about his affair and temporarily ended the relationship, sources told the paper."
