Next Up: Rep Blake Farenthold (R-Texas)

Rep. Blake Farenthold used taxpayer money to settle a sexual harassment claim brought by his former spokesman — the only known sitting member of Congress to have used a little-known congressional account to pay an accuser, people familiar with the matter told POLITICO.

Lauren Greene, the Texas Republican’s former communications director, sued her boss in December 2014 over allegations of gender discrimination, sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment.

All the agencies have slush funds like this. If they dig enough, millions will be found spending on this type of crap.

I'm trying to think how this would go down in the private sector.
Would the company pay the settlement and then fire the douche?
Or is the creep on the hook for the settlement?
