Senate sex tape: Capitol Hill hearing room where leaked video was recorded home to several historic events

Many high-profile hearings have taken place in the Senate hearing room where an alleged staffer filmed a sex tape, which was reported on Friday.

Several high-profile hearings have taken place in the Senate hearing room where an alleged congressional staffer reportedly filmed a sex tape.

The U.S. Capitol Police told Fox News they were aware of an amateur pornographic video published by the Daily Caller on Friday, which shows someone identified as a congressional staffer, engaging in sex with another man in Hart Senate Office Building room 216.

The Daily Caller report states the video was leaked after being "shared in a private group for gay men in politics." The men's identities haven't been confirmed. 

Social media posts claimed the alleged staffer worked for Sen. Ben Cardin's office. Hours after the story broke, Cardin's office announced that a legislative aide had been dismissed but did not address reports linking a member of his staff to the sex tape.
