Senate Staffer Accused Of Filming Sex Tape In Hearing Room

A Senate staffer is “no longer employed” after being linked to a sex tape that purportedly showed two men having sex in a Senate hearing room.

On Friday, the Daily Caller published a censored version of the video, which they said was filmed in Senate room Hart 216, the judiciary room. Other publications alleged one of the men in the video was Aidan Maese-Czeropski, a staffer for Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md.). According to the publication, it was leaked from a private group for gay men in politics.

“Aidan Maese-Czeropski is no longer employed by the U.S. Senate . We will have no further comment on this personnel matter,” Cardin’s office said in a statement to HuffPost.

“This has been a difficult time for me, as I have been attacked for who I love to pursue a political agenda,” Maese-Czeropski wrote on LinkedIn . “While some of my actions in the past have shown poor judgement, I love my job and would never disrespect my workplace. Any attempts to characterize my actions otherwise are fabricated and I will be exploring what legal options are available to me in these matters.”

Maese-Czeropski did not respond to a separate request for comment. 

Social media users weighed in on the alleged sex act, including former Rep. George Santos, who was expelled from Congress for misusing campaign funds and lying about his resume.

“Having sex in a United States government building and filming it is the reason you got heat,” Santos wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “You being gay and having gay sex NO BODY gives a rats ass… No one is perusing a political agenda, we are just disgusted about your VILE behavior as a staffer to a United States senator. Now you do put a new definition to “Fuck around and find out”! Aidan you will forever be remembered as the Democrats favorite sloppy bottom…”
