Georgia judge apologizes for in-chambers affair as impeachment talk mounts

A Georgia federal judge was disciplined for an extramarital sexual relationship with a security officer in chambers and for allegedly lying to investigators. A disciplinary report says the judge apologized for offensive conduct in a prior letter and acknowledged failures. Clerks and interns observed concerning behavior during a hearing and other interactions, and the judge admitted the affair but denied mistreatment of staff. Two Georgia congressmen have filed impeachment resolutions, and it is up to the House Judiciary Committee to decide whether to begin impeachment proceedings.
