Yet another member of Congress was under investigation by the House Ethics Committee amid allegations of inappropriate advances on a staffer, CNN reported on Tuesday.Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D-CA) was at the center of the investigation, an issue that has become a priority on Capitol Hill and among lawmakers.According to three anonymous sources, "the panel had made early reach outs in its attempt to follow up on a New York Post story, which alleged Gomez (D-CA) had been spotted kissing an aide, who worked for a different member of Congress, outside a backyard party in 2023," according to the report. Gomez, who is married, has denied these claims. Now, the panel is also investigating other incidents that it learned about in the course of investigating the kissing allegation.In a statement to CNN, Gomez said, “Years ago, I made personal mistakes outside my marriage that have caused real pain to my wife and family.
