A U.S. Senate staffer has been terminated from his position after allegedly recording himself engaging in sexual activity with another man in a hearing room. The 24-year-old legislative aide, Maese-Czeropski, is accused of sharing a video of the act on a public X account. The Spectator was the first to report on the incident, claiming to have clear footage of his face.

Following the circulation of the video on social media, Senator Ben Cardin's office confirmed that the staffer had been fired. A spokeswoman for Cardin stated, "Aidan Maese-Czeropski is no longer employed by the U.S. Senate. We will have no further comment on this personnel matter."

The sexual activity reportedly took place in the same chamber where senators question Supreme Court nominees and where former FBI director James Comey previously testified about Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. The Daily Caller released a graphic video of the incident on Friday night.

After the video gained widespread attention, the U.S. Capitol Police launched an investigation into potential criminal offenses.

Maese-Czeropski had previously appeared in an advertisement for President Biden. In a statement on LinkedIn, the former staffer admitted to exercising "poor judgment" but denied the allegations. He expressed that he had been targeted for his personal life and stated, "While some of my actions in the past have shown poor judgment, I love my job and would never disrespect my 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."
