Virginia Democratic Rep. Bobby Scott has been accused of sexual harassment by a woman who served in his office.

Marsheri Reese Everson, an attorney who was awarded a fellowship by the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation in 2013, made the accusations public Friday at a northern Virginia hotel alongside her attorney, Jack Burkman. (Burkman, who employed Everson, is involved in the Seth Rich controversy.)
