(FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - Rep. Mark Cusack was allegedly found with another rep's aide in the House chamber after a late-night House budget session in April, according to the Statehouse News Service. Both were fully clothed.

The Braintree rep reportedly gave another person's name when identifying himself. House Speaker Robert DeLeo tells FOX 25 "the House is conducting an internal review of this matter."

In other news, the pressure on Rep. Anthony Weiner to resign continues to grow with President Barack Obama now suggesting that the troubled politician step down.

Obama said that if he were in the congressman's position, he would quit. In an interview Monday, the president added that Weiner's sexually graphic text messages were inappropriate and that he "embarrassed himself, his wife and his family."
