Rep. Tony Gonzales faces new sexual misconduct allegations

Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, is accused by a second former staffer of sending her sexually explicit messages while she worked as his political director.
The staffer reported that Gonzales repeatedly solicited nude photos and attempted to initiate a sexual relationship over several weeks.
Gonzales is already under investigation by the House Ethics Committee for inappropriate relationships with aides, including a prior affair with an aide who died by suicide.
