San Antonio Express-News

The San Antonio Express-News is a major newspaper serving the San Antonio, Texas metropolitan area. It is currently newsworthy due to its initial reporting on allegations of sexual misconduct against Texas Congressman Tony Gonzales. The newspaper first published a report detailing sexually explicit messages allegedly sent by Gonzales to a former female staffer. This report was later confirmed by NBC News and has led to the House ethics committee opening an investigation into Gonzales. The allegations also include a previous admission by Gonzales of an affair with another aide, Regina Santos-Aviles, who died by suicide last year. The Express-News's role in breaking this story highlights its significance as a key source of investigative journalism in Texas and its impact on holding elected officials accountable.
