  • Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie have joined former Rep. Matt Gaetz's (R-Fla.) call to release the "congressional sexual slush fund," a list of congresspeople accused of sexual harassment.

The article from MSN discusses Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG) joining Representative Matt Gaetz in calling for the release of a list of members of Congress who have used taxpayer money to settle sexual harassment or discrimination claims. This call to action stems from a fund known colloquially as the "Congressional Sexual Slush Fund," which has been used to pay out settlements without public disclosure of the names involved. Gaetz and Greene argue that transparency is necessary to ensure accountability and to prevent misuse of public funds. The fund, officially part of the Office of Compliance, has been criticized for its lack of transparency and for potentially shielding members of Congress from the consequences of their actions. The push for disclosure has gained traction amid broader discussions on ethics and accountability in Congress.
