Rep. Anthony D’Esposito (R-NY) provided part time jobs in his congressional office to both his fiancée’s daughter and his mistress, a New York Times report reveals.
The arrangement is a possible violation of House ethics rules crafted to combat corruption in the notoriously shady world of congressional staffing.
The Times reports:
Shortly after taking the oath of office, the first-term congressman hired his longtime fiancée’s daughter to work as a special assistant in his district office, eventually bumping her salary to about $3,800 a month, payroll records show.
In April, Mr. D’Esposito added someone even closer to him to his payroll: a woman with whom he was having an affair, according to four people familiar with the relationship. The woman, Devin Faas, collected $2,000 a month for a part-time job in the same district office.
Each working arrangement ended abruptly in July 2023, coinciding with D’Esposito’s fiancée, Cynthia Lark, learning about his relationship with Faas.
