众议院议长迈克·约翰逊表示,针对共和党众议员托尼·冈萨雷斯与一名后来自杀身亡的员工被指存在不正当关系的指控”令人憎恶”,但他称”我们正在调查此事”。
“我的理解是,他否认了其中大部分指控,而我们正在努力厘清事实,”约翰逊在周二晚上总统特朗普发表国情咨文演讲前夕接受《哥伦比亚广播公司晚间新闻》主播托尼·多库皮采访时表示。”据报道,国会行为办公室(Office of Congressional Conduct)已对此事展开调查,且调查已进行了一段时间。我们在这里所做的就是让所有事实得以呈现。”
在她去世前几个月,该助手雷吉娜·桑托斯-阿维莱斯(Regina Santos-Aviles)曾在发给一位同事的短信中透露了她与这位得克萨斯州议员的不正当关系,该短信于上周被公布。周一曝光的桑托斯-阿维莱斯与冈萨雷斯之间的其他短信交流显示,冈萨雷斯曾向桑托斯-阿维莱斯索要”性感照片”,并包含其他性调侃内容。
冈萨雷斯在3月3日的共和党初选中面临几名挑战者,上周他指控其中一名挑战者散布了关于其不正当关系的指控。冈萨雷斯曾获得共和党竞选机构的支持,但约翰逊周二指出,这是”在任何指控出现之前”的事。
“当然,他是现任议员,”约翰逊告诉多库皮。”我们在秋季就支持了托尼·冈萨雷斯——那是在任何指控出现之前。这些指控——我的意思是,被指控的行为令人憎恶。”
尸检报告显示,桑托斯-阿维莱斯于2025年9月自焚身亡。她已婚,有一个8岁的儿子。
冈萨雷斯此前否认有不正当关系,并声称他正遭到桑托斯-阿维莱斯遗孀的勒索。冈萨雷斯已婚,有六个孩子。

周二,尽管党内一些人呼吁他辞职,冈萨雷斯仍坚称自己不会辞职。约翰逊在接受多库皮采访后于周二与冈萨雷斯会面。
“我不会辞职,我每天都在为得克萨斯州的人民工作,”冈萨雷斯周二在国会大厦对记者表示。”所有细节和事实都会有机会浮出水面。你们所看到的并非全部事实。”
Johnson says of Rep. Gonzales’ alleged affair with staffer: “We’re trying to sort it out”
Updated on: February 24, 2026 / 5:34 PM EST / CBS News
House Speaker Mike Johnson says the allegations against GOP Rep. Tony Gonzales regarding an affair with a staffer who later died by suicide “detestable,” but he says “we’re trying to sort it out.”
“My understanding is he’s denied a lot of this, and we’re trying to sort it out,” Johnson told “CBS Evening News” anchor Tony Dokoupil in an exclusive interview ahead of President Trump’s State of the Union address Tuesday night. “Now, it has been reported that the Office of Congressional Conduct is investigating this, and has been for some time. And what we do here is we allow all the facts to play out.”
Months before her death, the aide, Regina Santos-Aviles, revealed the alleged affair with the Texas congressman in a text message to a colleague that was published last week. Other text exchanges between Santos-Aviles and Gonzales that came to light Monday showed Gonzales asking Santos-Aviles for a “sexy pic” and contained other sexual banter.
Gonzales faces several challengers in the March 3 Republican primary, and last week, he accused one of his challengers of spreading the affair allegations. Gonzales was endorsed by the GOP campaign arm, but Johnson noted Tuesday that was “before any of this came up.”
“Of course, he’s an incumbent,” Johnson told Dokoupil. “We’ve made an endorsement of Tony Gonzales back in the fall — before any of this came up. The allegations are — I mean, it’s detestable what is being alleged.”
Santos-Aviles died in September 2025 after lighting herself on fire, according to an autopsy report. She was married and has an 8-year-old son.
Gonzales has previously denied having an affair, and he alleges he is being extorted by Santos-Aviles’ widower. Gonzales is married and has six children.

He insisted Tuesday that he would not resign, despite calls from some within his own party. He and Johnson met Tuesday after Johnson spoke to Dokoupil.
“I will not resign, I work every day for the people of Texas,” Gonzales told reporters at the Capitol on Tuesday. “There will be an opportunity for all the details and the facts to come out. What you’ve seen are not all the facts.”
