Serious question: is that illegal in regards to a public figure?
Not debating other aspects; i believe it unethical, crass and reflects more poorly on her than him.
§ 22–3053. First-degree unlawful publication. | D.C. Law Library (dccouncil.gov)
Code of the District of Columbia
§ 22–3053. First-degree unlawful publication.
(a) It shall be unlawful in the District of Columbia for a person to knowingly publish one or more sexual images of another identified or identifiable person when:
(1) The person depicted did not consent to the disclosure or publication of the sexual image;
(2) There was an agreement or understanding between the person depicted and the person publishing that the sexual image would not be disclosed or published; and
(3) The person published the sexual image with the intent to harm the person depicted or to receive financial gain.
(b) A person who violates this section shall be guilty of a felony and, upon conviction, shall be fined not more than the amount set forth in § 22-3571.01, imprisoned for not more than 3 years, or both.
Sadly, I'm sure there's some sort of carve out that shields congress from trashing private citizens.
Saw a headline that she may have emailed the uncensored images to some massive email list without enabling any kind of age restriction, so presumably could have sent porn to minors. No idea if it is a felony, but I think that is what he is referring to.
Probably covered by the speech and debate clause.
considering they have a tax payer funded hush fund for dealing with sexual allegations, I would say there probably is some protection.§ 22–3053. First-degree unlawful publication. | D.C. Law Library (dccouncil.gov)

I don’t think what she did should be criminal. She wasn’t the publisher but rather was showing things that have been published. Similar to holding up a newspaper clipping.
With that said, what she did was dumb and pathetic. It only serves as a distraction from an issue of actual significance
The rationalizations for her behavior are both comical and pathetic at the same time. WTF are those people thinking when they vote for her?
I suppose it's the same mindset we have here in Tennessee when the people, who actually voted, elect Marsha F*****g Blackburn over a successful, two term governor. Our state overall, is dumber than Georgia
Maybe, maybe not. Apparently you listened to her dumbass because that's all she said for months, without articulating any policy positions of her own. If you voted for her, you should be ashamed.
Let's be real, you can say that for approximately half of the peoples constituents that are elected. Be consistent or be a useless, two party guzzler.Maybe, maybe not.

Oh, I'm sure there's a carve out that protects the "trailer park hood rat"- but it would beg a question of relevance.
I'm not sure that any rational person could make cogent argument that issues surrounding Hunters IRS issues warrant disseminating sexually explicit photographs over C-SPAN.
