(Washington, DC) — Maryland Senator Ben Cardin is speaking out after one of his staffers was reportedly fired over a sex tape filmed in a Senate hearing room. Cardin told reporters this week he was “angry” and “disappointed” when he found out about the scandal. He called it a “breach of trust.” Capitol Police are investigating the incident. Parts of the video were published by The Daily Caller last week.
