The Australian Embassy in DC had readied its gallery for the nine-week show, and artist Patricia Piccinini had selected the works she wanted displayed. But two weeks before it was to open, there was a problem. The Washington couple who owned the art was bickering over it. Twenty-six years his junior, Heather was a 33-year-old congressional staffer, an up-and-comer with a law degree from the University of Virginia. Heather was his second marriage; he was her third.

When they weren’t in Washington, Heather and Tony jetted off to their home in AUSTRALIA or their apartment in Venice, sometimes meeting up with political heavyweights like Janet Napolitano and Ted Kennedy, according to the Post.

The following year, Heather organized a fundraiser for California senator Dianne Feinstein and sent invitations promising “the Select Committee on Intelligence for the first course followed by your choice of Appropriations, Judiciary, or Rules committees,” according to Roll Call. Feinstein, who sits on each of these committees, heard about the invitation and canceled the event.
