GOP rep hit with explosive accusations from widower after wife's horrific suicide

The estranged husband of a congressional aide who died by setting herself on fire is breaking his five-month silence with explosive accusations, speaking out to protect his late wife's reputation and to hold the Texas congressman accountable with whom she alleged she had an affair.

Adrian Aviles claimed Wednesday to the San Antonio Express-News that U.S. Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) "abused his power" by seducing his late wife, Regina Ann "Regi" Santos-Aviles, who worked in the congressman's Uvalde office.
