Who is the politician linked to the Ashley Madison website scandal?

The politician linked to the Ashley Madison website scandal is Josh Duggar, who, although not a politician per se, was a part of the politically active family featured on the reality TV show "19 Kids and Counting" and worked for the Family Research Council, a conservative lobbying organization. His connection to the scandal emerged in 2015 when hackers breached Ashley Madison, a website that facilitated extramarital affairs, and released the details of many users, including Duggar's. This revelation led to a public apology from him for his infidelity and significantly impacted his public image as well as the reputation of his family, who were known for their conservative Christian values.
