Massie stated, "Congress has secretly paid out more than $17 million of your money to quietly settle charges of harassment (sexual and other forms) in Congressional offices." This underscores the significant financial burden borne by taxpayers, raising critical questions about accountability in Congress.
During the hearing, Massie pointedly asked, "Who in here has had the taxpayer pay for their sexual misconduct charges, the hush money?" This rhetorical query aimed to expose a systemic issue among his colleagues, spotlighting the need for transparency.
Massie emphasized that "not a penny of it has been turned in as a campaign finance expense," drawing a parallel with Trump’s hush money case, which is pivotal in understanding the implications of such settlements.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene chimed in, asserting, "Yes. I want to release the congressional sexual slush fund list. Tax payers should have never had to pay for that." This reflects a growing call for accountability and transparency in how funds are managed.
