Dem Rep Confesses to Cheating on Wife after Exposé Sparked House Investigation

Congressional Dads Caucus founder Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D-Calif.) confessed Tuesday that he cheated on his wife — after The Post in April revealed he was seen kissing a congressional aide outside a DC party.

The Post’s report unleashed a House Ethics Committee investigation that uncovered sordid new details — crushing Gomez’s carefully crafted public image as a doting family man.

“Years ago, I made personal mistakes outside my marriage that have caused real pain to my wife and family,” Gomez told CNN, describing the extramarital relations as “consensual.”

“I sincerely apologize to my wife, family, friends and the people that I have the privilege to serve.”

The Los Angeles Democrat was spotted making out with a much younger congressional aide for a different lawmaker outside the home of then-Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) ahead of the 2023 August recess.
