Rep. Comstock: Harassment Settlements Can’t Come Out of Congressional Shush Fund, They Have to Pay It Themselves

RUSH EXCERPT:

MITCHELL: "One of the things that came out of your hearing, congresswoman, is that $15 million was spent over the last two decades to pay off — for all kinds of harassment."
COMSTOCK: "That’s been incorrectly reported. We don’t know exactly what portion that is because this includes the architect at the capitol, capitol police and allegations against staff."
DINGELL: "And it’s not all sexual harassment."
MITCHELL: "I was going to make that point."
COMSTOCK: "Age discrimination, wage and hours, overtime, but we are going to clearly say any kind of member harassment cannot come out of any fund. They have to pay that themselves."
