Explicit video footage was published Friday purportedly showing two men engaging in sexual intercourse on the dais of a Senate hearing room.
The Daily Caller, which obtained the pornographic material on Friday, reported that the footage was filmed by a congressional staffer inside the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing room in the Hart Senate Office Building.

Representatives for Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin (D-IL) and ranking member Lindsey Graham (R-SC) did not respond to the Washington Examiner’s request for comment on the footage, nor did spokespeople for Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) or Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).
It is unclear if the videos, which have not been independently verified by the Washington Examiner, will spark a Senate investigation.
A representative for the U.S. Capitol Police said in a statement to the Washington Examiner, “We are aware and looking into this.”

The footage was published hours after the Spectator reported that a male staffer in Sen. Ben Cardin’s (D-MD) office had been filming pornographic videos in the Capitol. While the staffer was not identified, the report references one of the individual’s public social media accounts, to which he allegedly posts sexually explicit images and videos.
A spokesperson for Cardin, who chairs the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, did not respond to the Washington Examiner’s request for comment on the report.
