Liberal Caucus Expulsion and Campaign Scandals
Marwah Rizqy filed a defense claiming she fired Hinse for ethics and rule violations.
Hinse sued for wrongful dismissal seeking $500,000 after being fired on Nov 17.
Lawyers argue staff and officials often spend significant time on partisan activities.
Rizqy was expelled from the Liberal caucus by Pablo Rodriguez.
Rodriguez resigned in December due to campaign finance scandals.
