'Public shaming made me consider suicide'

Katie Hill, the former US Democrat congresswoman, who resigned after reports of an "inappropriate" relationship with a 2018 campaign staff member and after nude photographs of her were published says her "public shaming" took her to a "dark and deep" place.

She told Hardtalk's Zeinab Badawi she had contemplated suicide during the period of her resignation: "What led me to it was knowing I wasn't going to be able to serve in the best capacity possible because of what I was going through."

Ms Hill has asked the police to investigate the nude photographs being published online.
