Congressional 'Slush Fund' Documents Reveal Alleged Harassment and Secret Settlements
Recently revealed documents have exposed the use of a 'slush fund' by Congress to settle allegations of harassment against lawmakers. These settlements, totaling over $300,000, were used to resolve claims of harassment and misconduct by congressional staffers. The documents, obtained through a subpoena pushed by Rep. Nancy Mace, detail allegations against several former lawmakers, including Rep. John Conyers and Rep. Eric Massa. The settlements were made under a system that allowed taxpayer money to be used for such payouts, a practice that has since been changed following the #MeToo movement.
