Sen. Ben Cardin said he's angry after an aide was accused of filming a sex tape in a hearing room.
The staffer was identified by conservative media as 24-year-old Aidan Maese-Czeropski.
Maese-Czeropski, who no longer works for Sen. Cardin, said he feels "attacked for who I love."
US Senator Ben Cardin said he feels betrayed and angry after his legislative aide was accused of filming himself having sex in a congressional hearing room.
"It's a breach of trust," the Maryland Democrat said, according to CBS News. "It's a tragic situation, and it's presented a lot of anger and frustration. I'm concerned about our staff and the way that they feel about this."
He was referring to a video published by the Daily Caller on Friday, showing what it described as a congressional staffer having sex with an unknown man.
The staffer was later identified by conservative media as 24-year-old Aidan Maese-Czeropski.
Cardin's office released a statement saying: "Aidan Maese-Czeropski is no longer employed by the US Senate."
It did not explain who instigated his departure or why.
Business Insider has not independently verified the video or confirmed the identity of the individuals involved.
In a now-deleted statement on his LinkedIn account, Maese-Czeropski said: "This has been a difficult time for me, as I have been attacked for who I love to pursue a political agenda."
