QUESTION
Which politicians have been associated with the Ashley Madison website?
ANSWER
Several politicians were associated with the Ashley Madison website scandal when it became public in 2015. The website, which was designed to facilitate extramarital affairs, had its user data hacked and leaked, exposing personal details of millions of its members. Among those whose information was revealed were various government employees and elected officials. Notable examples included then-Louisiana Republican Executive Director Jason Doré, who acknowledged using the site for "opposition research," and Michigan state representative Todd Courser, who was embroiled in a scandal that included an attempt to cover up an affair with another legislator by using a fictional claim that he had been caught having sex with a male prostitute—a story he hoped would make news of his actual affair less believable. It's important to note that, while these associations were widely reported on, they represent the actions of individuals and not any widespread or institutional connection between the website and politicians in general.
