Texas Lawmaker Admits to Affair

“Three days after state Rep. Giovanni Capriglione (R) announced he was dropping his reelection bid, the conservative news site Current Revolt published an interview with a former exotic dancer who alleges she had a 17-year affair with the Southlake Republican,” the Texas Tribune reports.

The woman, Alex Grace, alleges that Capriglione paid her for “meetups” and “funded several abortions for his own personal gain.”
