“Aidan Maese-Czeropski no longer works in the US Senate. We will have no further comment on this personnel matter,” a spokesperson for Cardin told The Post following news of the video.
The United States Capitol Police have since launched an investigation into potential criminal violations after the video began circulating.
The employee appears to have deleted his X account.
Maese-Czeropski admitted that she showed “poor judgment,” but claimed in a social media post that she was victimized by the video.
“I love my job and will never disrespect my workplace,” he wrote. “Any attempt to characterize my actions otherwise is a fabrication and I will explore the legal options available to me in this matter.”
The Post was unable to reach Maese-Czeropski for comment.
