Embattled Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) made explicit sexual requests to his late congressional staffer who repeatedly resisted, according to text messages obtained by 24Sight News from a forensic extraction of Santos-Aviles’ phone conducted as part of an active legal claim by her widower’s attorney.
The messages add to a growing body of evidence of an improper relationship — allegations Gonzales denied as recently as last week.
