House Rep John Conyers, one of the most Senior members in Congress has settled with a monetary payment against a sexual harassment claim filed against him.

Conyers was elected to the lawmaking body in 1964, and was one of the founding members of the Congressional Black Caucus has made  settlement payment against an accuser claiming sexual harassment.

This is before the House of Representatives Ethics Committee began an investigation against the Representative.

Former staffers claim that Conyers, 88 made sexual advances to female staffers.

Conyers issued a statement that his office had resolved a claim of harassment with a payment, but with no admission of guilt.

Though he gave no more details, Conyers would cooperate with any further investigation with the Ethics Committee.

As a postscript, it has been revealed that payment made to the accuser has been paid by a fund created by Congress. The accuser made an appearance on the Today show describing instances of Rep Conyer’s harassment. The Representative has been in the Hospital citing illness.

Representative Conyers announced his retirement from the House on 12/5/2017 and would like his Son to succeed him taking his seat.

We’ll see yes indeed we’ll see…..
