WASHINGTON — The House Ethics Committee is investigating Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D-Calif.) for “inappropriate sexual contact with a House staffer” — after he admitted to cheating on his wife following a Post exposé that revealed Gomez kissed a much younger aide three years ago.
Gomez had copped to the affair in June, confessing to “personal mistakes outside my marriage that have cause real pain to my wife and family,” in a statement to CNN that characterized the extramarital relations as “consensual.”
“I sincerely apologize to my wife, family, friends and the people that I have the privilege to serve,” the 51-year-old added at the time.
The Post had reported April 18 that Gomez got hot and heavy with a House staffer two decades his junior in the backyard of then-Rep. Eric Swalwell’s (D-Calif.) DC residence in August 2023.
