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 Packers 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.
Hastings said that the lawsuit that Packer filed against him and an investigation by the House Ethics Committee were ultimately dismissed.
I am outraged that any taxpayer dollars were needlessly paid to Ms. Packer, he said.

Dude! Are trying to set new standard or something???
Just trying to help FR.
These fundraisers need to end in in under two weeks.
Let’s see, to pay that back at the current prison minimum wage of $0.86/day, he’s going to need around 700 years. May as well get started!
(chuckles...guffaws). Enough! It’s off to gwadiator school for you!
That criminal son of a bitch needs JAIL!!!
His cousins are Slim Pickins and Rip Torn, they told me the only reason Hastings is in congress was because of his friend, Jerry Mandering.
I think his father was Handsome Stranger and his Mother was Lonesome Dove.
Hastings then lapsed into a sales pitch for a bridge he says he owns.....in Brooklyn.
GTH out of my govt...you lying jackass.
And cough up the money you extorted from taxpayers b/c your penis started twitching.

The fact that TAXPAYERS are footing the bill for this crap REALLY PISSES ME OFF!!! Th8s BASTARD sexually harasses someone and WE pay the bill for it WTF?????
Th8s= This oops!!!!
Much like our X-president, A. Hastings knows nothing until it is seen in the “news”. The old poker is 81 years old. Who’s to say some of this “cabbage” didn’t supply him with large doses of Viagra. Is Ms Winsome Packer strutting around town in a new fur coat?
In the future perhaps these pseudos should be raiding their hidden slush funds rather than taking the shirt off the backs of taxpayers.
HAT TIP TO Kim CLEMENT: This prophet spoke of the indiscretions of these DC critters several years ago. He stated the d’rat party would find themselves in this predicament (caught with their pants down).
#33. Hastings is more slippery than an eel dipped in axle grease. They should call him the “Teflon Don of Congress” along with Bill “It depends on what the definition of “is”, is, Clinton and his crooked wife.
The hush money needs to be clawed back by Congress with interest and penalties and by the estate of the deceased if necessary.
This is the one case where there should be a debtors prison if the former Congressional scumback can’t or won’t pay.
Hastings is a terminal dirtbag and liar, btw.
