Former commission staffer alleged sexual harassment by Florida Democrat
The Treasury Department paid $220,000 in a previously undisclosed agreement to settle a lawsuit alleging sexual harassment that involved Florida Democrat Alcee L. Hastings, according to documents obtained by Roll Call.
Winsome Packer, a former staff member of a congressional commission that promotes international human rights, said in documents that the congressman touched her, made unwanted sexual advances, and threatened her job. At the time, Hastings was the chairman of the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe, where Packer worked.
Hastings has called Packer’s charges “ludicrous” and in documents said he never sexually harassed her.
“Until this evening, I had not seen the settlement agreement between the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE) and Ms. Packer,” the congressman said in a statement Friday night. “This matter was handled solely by the Senate Chief Counsel for Employment. At no time was I consulted, nor did I know until after the fact that such a settlement was made.”

I actually suspected this
It's why i suspect that there are many BS allegations in the pool. It was just easier to pay them off
And i have ZERO sympathy for these dumb fricks not foreseeing it with this ridiculous fund
I hope they all burn

Hastings is a known crook, so not surprised. The House and Senate need to be nuked.

You mean former impeached and removed federal judge Alcee Hastings? And Dems have the fricking nerve to bitch if Moore gets elected.

Every one is the politicians and FedGov bureaucrats who have settled these cases need to be forced to resign. We as tax payers should not be financing their misbehavior.

This is one of the many reasons they don't want tax reform. Sons of bitches run around screaming pay your fair share so they can have slush funds to cover up shite like this.

How is it that something like this can happen without every single person being involved be brought up on charges?

Anyone(don't care what party) who uses taxpayer money to pay shut up money needs to be in jail.
