UNITED STATES – A Moon Story. A legal aide in the US Senate has lost his job because he was suspected of filming a sex video in one of the hearing rooms. This was reported by several American media outlets on Saturday, December 16, citing information from Politico. Embattled parliamentary aide Aidan Maese-Czeropski, legislative aide to Democratic Sen. Ben Cardin of Maryland, is being threatened with legal action.
The video, which shows two men having sex in room Hart 216, was published on Friday by an American right-wing extremist website called Daily Caller. Aidan Maese-Czeropski would be one of the protagonists. Democratic Sen. Ben Cardin's office told Politico that “Aidan Maese-Czeropski is no longer employed by the U.S. Senate,” without explaining the reason.
Aidan Maese-Czeropski made the comments in a LinkedIn post without directly mentioning the controversy. “Although some of my actions in the past have demonstrated poor judgment, I love my job and will never disrespect my workplace,” he wrote. “Any attempt to characterize my actions otherwise is fictional and I will explore the legal options available to me in these matters.” »
A courtroom with great symbolic power
In addition to the act itself, this video is all the more shocking because it takes place in a highly symbolic room in the building with very strong symbolism: Hart 216. In particular, the commission on September 11, 2001, the hearing of an FBI director on the Donald case took place in this court hearing room Trump instead.
Although the parliamentary attaché has already been fired, investigations are ongoing. The Capitol Police announced the opening of an investigation and Ben Cardin spoke of a file that was still “under review.”
His office told the Washington Examiner in a statement Friday: “We have seen media reports. Because this is a personnel matter and is still under review, we will have no further comment at this time. »
