Eric Swalwell scandal puts focus on Capitol Hill’s settlement ‘slush fund’

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) claimed Wednesday that House Republicans will soon release information about a “slush fund” that paid out money to victims of sexual harassment in Capitol Hill offices.

“A friendly reminder that House Oversight subpoenaed the records of the congressional sexual harassment slush fund and we will be releasing them,” Luna posted on X. “Maybe we’ll see more resignations, you never know. #trashday.”

The Office of Workplace Rights has paid out more than $18 million to settle cases involving workplace misconduct since 1997, RealClearPolitics previously reported.

Last year, the only settlement listed in the House involved the office of then-Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer (R-Ore.), now the secretary of labor, for $98,650 and involved an unidentified form of workplace discrimination.

No settlements occurred in the Senate.
