The timing is right: just before Christmas break, after all the legislative issues are done.
We’ll see.
An investigative reporter with The Daily Caller News Foundation (DCNF) announced on Friday that Congress’ human resources scandal is about to break wide-open and predicted that over a dozen members of the House of Representatives will resign.
DCNF reporter Luke Rosiak tweeted on Friday: “Congress’ human resources scandal is just getting started. I anticipate we will see the resignation of more than a dozen House members over harassment and secret settlements, and soon.”

We’ll see how accurate Rosiak is.
Other notable politicians on Capitol Hill caught up in sexual misconduct cases:
- Democrat Rep. Alcee L. Hastings (FL)— The Treasury paid $220,000 to settle allegations against him made by a former congressional staffer that claimed he “touched her, made unwanted sexual advances, and threatened her job.”
- Republican Rep. Blake Farenthold (TX)— The congressmen announced on Thursday that he was “retiring” after former staffers accused him of making “sexually graphic jokes” and berating his aides. He previously settled a sexual harassment claim made by an employee in 2014.
- Democrat Rep. Ruben Kihuen (NV)— Multiple women have accused the Pelosi-backed congressman of sexual harassment.
- Democrat Sen. Al Franken (MN)— Franken announced that he would resign last week after multiple women accused him of sexual assault. Franken has still not resigned despite his promise to do so.
- Republican Rep. Trent Franks (AZ) — Resigned after he reportedly made women uncomfortable by asking them to be a surrogate mother.
