[QUOTE="Hobbes, post: 3058355, member: 3371"] Another one for da fire.... WASHINGTON -- Rep. Blake Farenthold, R-Corpus Christi, used taxpayer dollars to settle a sexual harassment dispute brought by his former spokeswoman in 2014, [URL='https://www.politico.com/story/2017/12/01/blake-farenthold-taxpayer-funds-sexual-harassment-274458']Politico reported[/URL] Friday. The revelations make him the only known sitting member of Congress to use an Office of Compliance account to settle a sexual harassment dispute, according to the news outlet. That Farenthold settled with a former staffer for an undisclosed amount has been previously reported. But on Friday, House Administration Committee Chairman Gregg Harper, R-Miss., told GOP lawmakers in a private meeting that only one House office in the past five years had used the account to settle a sexual harassment complaint, sources told Politico. The settlement reportedly totaled $84,000. Farenthold said he was legally prohibited from commenting on the matter. [/QUOTE]
