While the embattled staffer shared his plans to pursue legal action, Capitol Police are reportedly exploring the possibility of whether he violated any laws.
A Democratic congressional aide, who was fired for recording a gay sex tape in the Senate, is facing possible criminal charges as the explicit video gained widespread circulation on the internet. Aidan Maese-Czeropski, 24, was fired by Maryland Senator Ben Cardin on Saturday afternoon, less than a day after a video showed two men having sex in a Senate room.
The Capitol Police are now reportedly investigating the explicit incident that took place in the same room where senators grill Supreme Court justice nominees. Maese-Czeropski, who appeared in a 2020 campaign video with Joe Biden, released a statement on LinkedIn Friday night claiming that he would never disrespect his workplace.

Any attempts to characterize my actions otherwise are fabricated and I will be exploring what legal options are available to me in these matters. »
