The grieving mom of a congressional aide who died after setting herself on fire last month denied claims her daughter was having an affair with her married boss, Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas).

Regina Santos-Aviles’s mother, Nora Gonzales, shot down a Daily Mail report on Monday that Santos-Aviles had separated from her husband and had an affair with Gonzales before her death at her Uvalde, Texas, home on Sept. 13.

“I don’t think it has any merit,” Nora Gonzales told The Post, adding that the claims are “completely false.”

Nora Gonzales said she believes the report was “completely false.”

Nora found her daughter badly burned after Santos-Aviles doused herself in gasoline before igniting in the backyard of her home, according to cops and surveillance footage.

Santos-Aviles begged her for water and was later rushed to a nearby hospital, where she died. Nora told The Post she is unsure why her daughter doused herself in gasoline.
