The House Ethics Committee is investigating a California congressman over sexual misconduct allegations after he admitted to cheating on his wife with a colleague\u2019s congressional aide.<\/p>\n

The panel began looking into Democratic Rep. Jimmy Gomez, 51, after an April story in the New York Post alleged that the lawmaker had been seen kissing a female staffer who worked for another member of Congress at a summer party in 2023, CNN reported, citing three sources with knowledge of the investigation.<\/p>\n

\n

The Post reported that the backyard party in question was hosted by Gomez\u2019s Democratic colleague, former California Rep. Eric Swalwell, who resigned from his congressional post and suspended his gubernatorial campaign in April after facing allegations of rape and sexual abuse.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

At the time, a Gomez spokesperson told the Post that the makeout session \u201cdidn\u2019t happen\u201d and the accounts were \u201cnot true.\u201d<\/p>\n

While looking into that story, one source told CNN that the panel uncovered other allegations of sexual misconduct against Gomez, which prompted the investigation.<\/p>\n

Gomez, who shares one son with his wife, Mary Hodge, admitted to his alleged infidelity in a statement to CNN, telling the outlet he would \u201ccooperate with any Ethics Committee inquiry and provide it with whatever information it might need.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYears ago, I made personal mistakes outside my marriage that have caused real pain to my wife and family,\u201d Gomez said in the statement. \u201cAlthough my actions were consensual in nature and haven\u2019t violated the law or House ethics rules, that doesn\u2019t diminish the impact that these mistakes have made on those I care about the most.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI take full responsibility and have committed myself to working through the pain privately with my wife and family,\u201d he continued. \u201cI sought professional assistance to help re-center and heal the relationships that mean everything to me, and move forward with the honesty, transparency, and respect that everyone deserves from the people they love. I continue to do this work.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI sincerely apologize to my wife, family, friends and the people that I have the privilege to serve. My wife and I will work through our family matters privately, but I am deeply sorry for the pain and embarrassment that I brought into our lives,\u201d the congressman concluded. \u201cHer sacrifices and support are central to my ability to serve, and I can only feel gratitude for her grace and strength.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gomez\u2019s office did not immediately return the Daily Beast\u2019s request for comment on the ethics committee\u2019s investigation.<\/p>\n

Swalwell announced his resignation from Congress the same day as Texan GOP Rep. Tony Gonzales, who was exposed for sexting a staffer who later took her own life.<\/p>\n

Gomez, who resigned as co-chair of Swalwell\u2019s gubernatorial campaign in the wake of his colleague\u2019s allegations, which he called \u201cthe ugliest and most serious accusations imaginable,\u201d is not the only congressman under investigation by the House panel.<\/p>\n

The committee confirmed last month that it was investigating Republican Rep. Chuck Edwards over sexual harassment allegations, after reports accused the North Carolina lawmaker of making female staffers uncomfortable.<\/p>\n

Among the GOP congressman\u2019s alleged transgressions were a handwritten letter he sent to a female staffer calling her \u201cthe most amazing woman\u201d and his gift to an aide of a custom puzzle that, when solved, revealed a photo of Adam Sandler along with tickets to one of the actor\u2019s comedy shows.<\/p>\n

Edwards told The Assembly in May that the accusations were \u201chorses–t.\u201d His campaign consultant, Paul Shumaker, later told the Daily Beast that the allegations were \u201cbaseless\u201d and were \u201cdesigned to impact the campaign driven by those who want to settle old political scores.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe welcome the ethics inquiry because it allows for facts to be entered into the record, not public allegations designed to drive media interests,\u201d Shumaker said.<\/p>\n
