SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- A California lawmaker who listened and asked questions as a fellow assemblyman boasted about extramarital affairs has been removed from the panel investigating the conversation.
Assembly Speaker Karen Bass removed Republican Assemblyman Jeff Miller of Corona from the ethics committee on Thursday.
The move comes a day after Republican Mike Duvall of Yorba Linda resigned from the Assembly once a videotape of the conversation became public. The racy banter took place in July during a break in a committee hearing.
