Representative Anthony D'Esposito of New York has demonstrated questionable hiring practices since joining Congress, employing his fiancée's daughter and a woman he was having an affair with.
D'Esposito's actions may violate ethics rules meant to prevent nepotism and abuse of public resources, as he paid approximately $29,000 in taxpayer funds to both women.
Despite not facing formal accusations of wrongdoing, the circumstances surrounding the employment decisions could lead to disciplinary action within the House of Representatives.
The rapid end of payments to both women coincided with personal upheaval in D'Esposito's life, highlighting how personal relationships can influence public service employment.
