Capitol Hill police are reportedly investigating the existence of another explicit video taken by a former congressional staffer less than a week after Washington was rocked by the release of a video featuring a gay ex-staffer fornicating in one of the Senate’s most esteemed hearing rooms.
Semafor scooped that the House quietly launched an investigation regarding “purported, unbecoming behavior” by a former staffer for Congressman Dan Newhouse (R-WA). The effort, undertaken last year, ended with “no conclusive evidence.”
In an interview, the staffer denied participating in the video which made the rounds on Snapchat among congressional staffers and associates. In the video, a man is seen masturbating inside a House office building identifiable by standard Capitol Hill furniture and carpeting. Semafor obtained a screenshot from the video which showed two men engaged in a sex act in an office setting. The video was attributed to a user by the name “Adam J” with the handle “Anjackson2019.”
Rep. Newhouse said the video was brought to his attention in June of 2022 when he was told that one of the participants was a suspected member of his staff.
“As soon as the office was alerted, we immediately contacted the appropriate House entities to conduct an independent investigation,” the spokesperson for Newhouse said, adding that “the office will not be providing further comment on personnel matters.”
