Katie Hill, the former rising Democratic star in the House, was ordered on Wednesday to pay the legal bill for a British newspaper and a couple of journalists in the wake of a ruling against her revenge porn lawsuit, a report said.
She acknowledged having an inappropriate affair with a female campaign aide but denied allegations of a relationship with a male congressional staffer. A relationship with a congressional staffer would have violated House rules.
In April, Judge Yolanda Orozco ruled that the tabloid was protected under the First Amendment when it published nude photos of her. Orozco wrote in her decision that she accepted the Daily Mail’s argument that the publication of the photos was"a matter of public issue or public interest."The Times reported that the judge already ordered Hill to pay $84,000 in lawyer fees to the managing editor of Red State and attorneys for a radio producer. Edmund DeMarche is a senior news editor for FoxNews.com.
