John Ensign

Ensign was exposed by Fox News for having an affair with a woman who worked for a PAC supporting his campaign. The senator from Nevada was proven guilty when the staffer’s husband sent a letter revealing the truth, but he never faced criminal charges even though he resigned because of the scandal.

Mel Reynolds

Accused of so many crimes, the Illinois congressman was proven guilty of money laundering, bank fraud and statutory rape of a 16-year-old volunteer in his campaign. Bill Clinton dismissed the bank fraud charge and Reynolds was released after serving several years in prison.
