Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) announced Monday he intends to file a Privileged Resolution this week, forcing a House vote to publicly name every U.S. Representative who has used taxpayer funds to settle sexual misconduct claims. Massie has confirmed that Congress has secretly paid roughly $17 million in such settlements, with no names ever disclosed to the public. A privileged resolution is a procedural tool that compels a full floor vote, putting every member on record. (1/2)
