<p>Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD) lamented what he called a &#8220;breach of trust&#8221; on Monday in response to the gay <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/police-investigating-gay-democrat-sex-video-in-senate-room-lawyer-says-charges-could-be-filed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sex tape controversy</a> that has rocked his office over the past week.</p>
<p>Reporters peppered the lawmaker with questions about the staffer who got fired after the emergence of a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/senate-democrat-staffer-caught-filming-gay-sex-tape-in-judiciary-hearing-room-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video showing a man</a>, alleged to be one of Cardin&#8217;s employees, having gay sex inside a Senate committee hearing room.</p>
<p>Cardin said he was &#8220;disappointed&#8221; and &#8220;angry,&#8221; according to <a href="https://twitter.com/sahilkapur/status/1736907209995419708" target="_blank" rel="noopener">multiple</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/mkraju/status/1736891891063378255" target="_blank" rel="noopener">journalists</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a breach of trust,&#8221; <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QO8FZuK_x5Q" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cardin also said</a>. &#8220;It&#8217;s my understanding Capitol Police is doing the investigation. It&#8217;s a personnel issue. So, we clearly will be — I&#8217;m not going to comment on the personnel issue and it&#8217;s under investigation.&#8221;</p>

<p>Cardin declined to speculate on how the staffer gained access to the hearing room and whether there will be charges.</p>
<p>The senator&#8217;s office previously <a href="https://www.politico.com/newsletters/playbook/2023/12/16/senate-staffer-out-after-sex-tape-scandal-00132143" target="_blank" rel="noopener">confirmed</a> to POLITICO that Aidan Maese-Czeropski, a legislative aide to Cardin, was &#8220;no longer employed&#8221; by the Senate after The Daily Caller <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2023/12/15/staffer-caught-filming-sex-tape-senate-hearing-room/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published video from the sex tape</a> on December 15.</p>

<p>Cardin insisted to reporters that &#8220;appropriate steps&#8221; were taken from the standpoint of his office after he became aware of the situation.</p>
<p>In a statement posted to social media, Maese-Czeropski said, &#8220;I have been attacked for who I love to pursue a political agenda. While some of my actions in the past have shown poor judgment, I love my job and would never disrespect my workplace.&#8221;</p>
<p>A source reportedly told the Daily Caller that the video was filmed in Hart Senate Office Building Room 216, <a href="https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/a-look-inside-the-senate-hearing-room-where-james-comey-will-testify-thursday/17376/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">known as the location</a> where the 9/11 Commission presented its findings, Supreme Court nominees have testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee, and more.</p>
<p>Capitol Police <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/4366737-cardin-angry-disappointed-with-ex-staffer-after-sex-tape-reveal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told The Hill</a> that as of Monday evening it was &#8220;still investigating&#8221; the incident and had no further updates to share.</p>
<p>Cardin, who was first elected to the Senate in 2006, <a href="https://www.cardin.senate.gov/press-releases/cardin-announces-plans-for-2024/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> in May that he would not seek re-election in 2024.

Robert Menendez (D-NJ), &#8220;temporarily&#8221; stepped down while <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/reporter-confronts-sen-menendez-over-attending-classified-briefing-despite-foreign-agent-charge" target="_blank" rel="noopener">contending with criminal charges</a>.</p>
<p>Sen.
