Published June 30, 2026 10:34pm ET



The House voted nearly unanimously on Tuesday to publicly disclose Ethics Committee records on which congressmen have settled sexual misconduct claims using taxpayer dollars.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) introduced the resolution, which directs the House Committee on Ethics to preserve and release publicly all chamber records related to sexual harassment settlements. The measure passed by a vote of 420-0, with Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), who had already issued a subpoena for similar chamber records, voting present.
