Lawmakers are debating changes to the House ethics process for handling allegations of sexual misconduct after the resignations of two scandal-scarred members and swirling claims of more revelations to come.
The debate, though, could take weeks or even months to play out, and it’s unclear if the bitterly divided House would be able to work out an agreement. In the meantime, some members are taking actions on their own to force transparency on sexual misconduct allegations.
“A lot of people are disgusted. There’s still staff that are coming forward, telling me about their members, and it’s just — it’s not good. It’s unacceptable,” Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, who has emerged as one of the top lawmakers calling for reform, told NOTUS.
