Congress publishes list of 28 House members investigated for sexual misconduct — in wake of major scandals
NY Post ^ | 4/20/26 | Josh Christenson

Posted on 04/20/2026 10:43:20 AM PDT by Libloather

The House Ethics Committee published a list Monday of all its publicly disclosed sexual misconduct investigations into members stretching back to 1976.

The 28 investigations spanned from former Rep. Wayne Hays (D-Ohio) to former Reps. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) and Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) — both of whom resigned from the House last week.

For the latter two, no finding will be made since the committee has lost jurisdiction following their departures.

At least half of the probes occurred over the past decade, during which the ethics panel said it “has adopted a more aggressive and robust approach to allegations of sexual misconduct.”

“The Committee has a long history of investigating allegations of sexual misconduct by Members of the House, ranging from criminal sexual activity to behavior implicating civil employment discrimination laws and more general standards of conduct,” the press release stated.

“The Committee has always made public its findings whenever allegations of sexual misconduct were substantiated.”

IMO, that’s the key. Show the public where their tax money went. Who were the recipients of these tax dollars? Why is this information being covered up and withheld from the public?

Individual members should be forced to pay us back.

Give us their names so we can vote them out.

Congress is a joke irregardless of which party in in the majority.

Common knowledge. Now do CURRENT members of Congress for whom Congress has paid off complainants of sexual offences.

To me, that would depend on why they were not disclosed. If the allegation was determined to be unfounded, it shouldn't be disclosed. If it was determined to be credible, but without sufficient evidence, it's a judgment call.

If the allegation was determined to be credible and provable, it should be broadcast far and wide, no mater who the pol is.
