House Speaker Paul Ryan announced Wednesday that Congress will no longer use taxpayer dollars to settle sexual harassment claims against lawmakers.
“That’s among the things we’re working on right now” as part of a package of reforms, Ryan said in an interview with Wisconsin radio station WISN.
Three lawmakers have recently stepped down over sexual harassment or misconduct claims.

Tell us who they are and make them pay back the money or get out....
I think Chuck Shumer has something coming..calling police..
Let’s see the names. We want our money back, you criminals.
Why were they used in the first place?
we want to know names charges and amounts of stolen money!!
Stop? How about the taxpayers want their money back from the previous payouts!!!!!
lol Schumer filed a lawsuit i believe against the ‘false accusers’
Who set this up? Who approved it?
Who used it and why?
They need to be forced to pay it back the taxpayers.
Dang first we can’t buy a book of stamps with a $35,000 check and now this what next.
Needs Freeped.
What is the law?
Who authorized payments?
ML/NJ
Exactly!!!!
Weasels.
Throw them out of office!
Starting with the head weasel, Ryan!
Fine so far Paul, now tell us who they are, who signed their checks, with who’s permission, so we know whom to sue to get all our money back!
They do that all the time.
Yeah. They can use funds from their donors to do that.
Now that’s a Speaker with courage and conviction.
Dozens of members of Congress DEFRAUD the US Taxpayers, Steal MILLIONS of Dollars for personal use, then when they get Caught Red Handed committing MULTIPLE FELONIES that would land any and every other citizen in Prison for a Very Long time, they can just pay back the STOLEN LOOT and no harm no foul.
Dear Government, YOU ALL BELONG IN PRISON!
“That’s among the things we’re working on right now”
Kinda says it all doesn’t it? “We got caught, now we will fix something that should have never been allowed in the first place.”
Basically the communists Democrats are still use tax payers money to pay off crime. Always have and always will since we have no real men in the Republican party to stop it.
They can handle charges the old fashioned way: using lobbyists, donors, and gangsters.
