Congressional Settlements Under Scrutiny | US News

Published 2 weeks, 4 days ago
Description

House Ethics Committee claims no taxpayer-funded sexual misconduct settlements since 2018, but lawmakers just voted 420-0 to force transparency — demanding both the Ethics Committee and the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights release records within 60 days. The Ethics Committee, while supporting the move, admits it doesn’t oversee these cases — that’s the OCWR’s job. Rep. Thomas Massie’s resolution expands the scope to include any misconduct-related settlements — even those under different categories — and staff claims tied to member offices. The next 60 days will reveal if any hidden settlements surface.
