Katie Hill Denies Improper Relationship with Aide

Freshman Rep. Katie Hill (D-CA) is denying allegations that she had an improper relationship with a congressional staffer, and blamed the controversy on an “abusive husband” that she is the midst of divorcing, Politico reports.

Said Hill: “The fact is I am going through a divorce from an abusive husband who seems determined to try to humiliate me.”

Red State recently published intimate photographs and text messages that show Hill was involved in a long-term sexual relationship with a female campaign staffer.
