Here’s the List of Ongoing Investigations of 28 Members of the House for Sexual Misconduct
Despite past serious accusations, nothing ever happens. The 28 investigations spanned from former Reps. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) and Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) — both of whom resigned from the House last week — to the late Rep. Wayne Hays (D-Ohio). In total, fourteen were Democrats and 12 were Republicans. The late Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-Fla.) was twice investigated for pursuing a “sexual relationship with a staffer in 2014 and again in 2020. The most immediately vulnerable Republican is Florida Rep. Cory Mills. More from the Post: The Ethics Committee no longer has jurisdiction over the Swalwell or Gonzales investigations after both left the House, though Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.) remains under a probe for “[s]exual misconduct and/or dating violence.” An investigative subcommittee looking into the allegations was set up in November 2025, but President Trump still endorsed the Florida Republican in February. “The fact Congress keeps protecting him says everything about who we are as an institution,” Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) said Monday, threatening an expulsion vote for Mills. At least half of the probes occurred just over the past decade, during which the ethics panel said it “has adopted a more aggressive and robust approach to allegations of sexual misconduct” (New York Post).

The 28 investigations spanned from former Reps. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) and Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) — both of whom resigned from the House last week — to the late Rep. Wayne Hays (D-Ohio). In total, fourteen were Democrats and 12 were Republicans. The late Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-Fla.) was twice investigated for pursuing a “sexual relationship with a staffer in 2014 and again in 2020. Disgraced ex-Rep. Eric Swalwell is accused of sexual assault. He resigned from his seat. Hastings died in 2021, and was succeeded by Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-Fla.), who was recently faulted for 25 ethics violations amid a probe of her purportedly pilfering $5 million in federal COVID-19 relief funds. Nancy Mace introduces resolution to expel fellow GOP rep from Congress: ‘Protected for far too long’ Violent teen mob beats university student in dorm in vicious caught-on-video attack A sex misconduct investigation from 1982 to 1983 involving House pages also concluded with the censuring of Reps. Gerry Studds (D-Mass.) and Dan Crane (R-Ill.), though neither were expelled. Others like Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), who was probed for “[s]exual misconduct with minor” and “solicitation of prostitution,” resigned before findings were publicly released. The Ethics Committee no longer has jurisdiction over the Swalwell or Gonzales investigations after both left the House, though Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.) remains under a probe for “[s]exual misconduct and/or dating violence.” An investigative subcommittee looking into the allegations was set up in November 2025, but President Trump still endorsed the Florida Republican in February. “The fact Congress keeps protecting him says everything about who we are as an institution,” Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) said Monday, threatening an expulsion vote for Mills. At least half of the probes occurred just over the past decade, during which the ethics panel said it “has adopted a more aggressive and robust approach to allegations of sexual misconduct.” Matt Gaetz speaking at CPAC in Grapevine, Texas. 7 Disgraced ex-Rep. Matt Gaetz is accused of sexual misconduct with underage girls. REUTERS “The Committee has a long history of investigating allegations of sexual misconduct by Members of the House, ranging from criminal sexual activity to behavior implicating civil employment discrimination laws and more general standards of conduct,” the press release stated. “The Committee has always made public its findings whenever allegations of sexual misconduct were substantiated.” Pardoned former Rep. George Santos, who was accused of sexually harassing a staffer, and ex-Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC), who was accused of an improper relationship with a staffer, all had no misconduct violations cited by the committee when public reports on the incidents were released. The House expelled Santos for the sexual misconduct and campaign finance fraud in December 2023, making him only the sixth member to be removed in US history from the lower chamber. Another listed member, former Guam Democratic Del. Michael F. Q. San Nicolas, was not found to have violated House ethics rules but was also investigated for sexual misconduct following a probe of an alleged sexual relationship with a staffer, the list shows. Ex-Reps. Tom Reed, Katie Hill, Ruben Kihuen, Patrick Meehan, Blake Farenthold, Trent Franks and John Conyers all were investigated, but the Ethics Committee lost its “jurisdiction” over the pols when they left Congress before the sexual misconduct investigation was completed. Rep. Alcee Hastings speaking at a committee meeting. 7 Late Rep. Alcee Hastings was accused of sexual harassment. Then-Reps. Mark Foley, Gary Condit, Mel Reynolds, Barney Frank, Gus Savage, Jim Bates and Donald “Buz” Lukens were all investigated for sexual misconduct between 1989 and 2006. Frank (D-Mass.) resigned without the Ethics Committee citing a violation in a public report. Foley (R-Fla.), Savage (D-Ill.), Bates (D-Calif.) and Lukens (R-Ohio) were found to have multiple sex misconduct violations. Savage didn’t resign but was defeated in the 1992 election after the misconduct came to light. He was succeeded by Reynolds (D-Ill.) who later resigned in October 1995 after being convicted for sexually assaulting a 16-year-old campaign aide. Bates became the first member of Congress to receive sanctions for sex harassment in 1989 — but also didn’t resign. Lukens resigned in October 1990 and served jail time the following year. Condit (D-Calif.) admitted to an affair with a 23-year-old intern Chandra Levy after her disappearance in 2001. Her remains were found the following year, but the murder has remained unsolved. The California Democrat was defeated in a Democratic primary race and left office in January 2003. The timing of the list’s release also came with a call for action. The committee “strongly encourages anyone who may have experienced sexual misconduct by a House Member or staffer” to report it. House Republicans have 217 members and Democrats have 213 members in the lower chamber, giving the GOP a razor-thin, two-vote majority that could be lost if more members face expulsion votes. Separately, the House Oversight Committee has issued a subpoena to the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights to disclose “all awards and settlements” paid to sexual misconduct victims before 2018. Those payments amount to around $450,000 for Section 201 violations of the Congressional Accountability Act, which covers sex harassment as well as other workplace-based discrimination. None of the members’ names associated with those investigations have been publicly disclosed, but House and Senate workplace complaints that resulted in settlement payments have been publicized since 2019. The annual reports show settlement figures involving sexual, racial and other workplace discrimination complaints, as well as those involving alleged discrimination over military service. In 2020, Rep. Tom Rice’s office paid $45,000 for Section 201 and 208 violations, the latter of which deals with retaliation against staff. The offices of former Rep. Don Young (R-Alaska) forked over $24,500 and Cawthorn paid $40,000 — both for 2022 violations related to workplace discrimination or sex misconduct. In 2023, the office of Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill) paid $50,000 to settle a workplace discrimination and retaliation case, a rep for his office confirmed. The office of Josh Harder (D-Calif.) paid $32,500 to settle a workplace- or sex-discrimination violation the same year, which also involved a Section 202 violation regarding family and medical leave protections. Florida GOP Rep. Carlos Gimenez’s office paid $25,000 to settle a workplace discrimination or harassment violation in 2024. The following year, the office of former Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer, who resigned as President Trump’s labor secretary on Monday, settled a whopping $98,650 violation under the sex- or workplace-based discrimination clause.

Separately, the House Oversight Committee has issued a subpoena to the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights to disclose “all awards and settlements” paid to sexual misconduct victims before 2018. Those payments amount to around $450,000 for Section 201 violations of the Congressional Accountability Act, which covers sex harassment as well as other workplace-based discrimination. None of the members’ names associated with those investigations have been publicly disclosed, but House and Senate workplace complaints that resulted in settlement payments have been publicized since 2019. The annual reports show settlement figures involving sexual, racial and other workplace discrimination complaints, as well as those involving alleged discrimination over military service. In 2020, Rep. Tom Rice’s office paid $45,000 for Section 201 and 208 violations, the latter of which deals with retaliation against staff. The offices of former Rep. Don Young (R-Alaska) forked over $24,500 and Cawthorn paid $40,000 — both for 2022 violations related to workplace discrimination or sex misconduct. In 2023, the office of Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill) paid $50,000 to settle a workplace discrimination and retaliation case, a rep for his office confirmed. The office of Josh Harder (D-Calif.) paid $32,500 to settle a workplace- or sex-discrimination violation the same year, which also involved a Section 202 violation regarding family and medical leave protections. Florida GOP Rep. Carlos Gimenez’s office paid $25,000 to settle a workplace discrimination or harassment violation in 2024. The following year, the office of former Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer, who resigned as President Trump’s labor secretary on Monday, settled a whopping $98,650 violation under the sex- or workplace-based discrimination clause.
House Democrats Release Articles of Impeachment Against War Secretary Pete Hegseth Put Forward By Muslim Rep. Yassamin Ansari
House Democrats Release Articles of Impeachment Against War Secretary Pete Hegseth The formal Articles of Impeachment were put forward by Arizona Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D). The six articles close with the charge that Hegseth: Acted in a manner contrary to the public trust as Secretary of Defense; shaken public confidence in the integrity and ability of the Department of Defense (House). John Hinderracker at Powerline: This one is too stupid to warrant comment. I think everyone understands that impeachment is now a purely political act. Far from being guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors, Secretary Hegseth has offended Democrats by disagreeing with them on policy and by scoring one brilliant success after another, thus making them look bad. This impeachment effort isn’t going anywhere, but its filing is a reminder that if the Democrats take the House in November, as they almost certainly will, they will impeach President Trump and, probably, most members of his cabinet. They are that far gone in hate (Powerline). House Democrats file articles of impeachment against Hegseth By Kaia Hubbard, CBS, April 15, 2026: Washington — House Democrats unveiled articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Wednesday, making serious allegations about his handling of the war in Iran and his leadership more broadly. The resolution, led by Rep. Yassamin Ansari of Arizona, lists six impeachment articles: Unauthorized war against Iran and reckless endangerment of U.S. service members; Violations of the law of armed conflict and targeting of civilians; Negligence and reckless handling of sensitive military information; Obstruction of congressional oversight; Abuse of power and politicization of the armed forces; Conduct bringing disrepute upon the U.S. and its armed forces. The impeachment push almost certainly won’t go anywhere in the House this year, since Republicans have a narrow majority. But its Democratic sponsors could renew their efforts if the party takes control of the chamber following the midterm elections. The seven-page impeachment resolution claims Hegseth engaged in high crimes and misdemeanors, the constitutional basis for impeachment. It says he has “demonstrated a willful disregard for the Constitution, abused the powers of his office, and acted in a manner grossly incompatible with the rule of law.” The resolution also accuses Hegseth of failing to prevent the use of military force “in a manner inconsistent with the law of armed conflict,” pointing to civilian casualties, including the Feb. 28 bombing of a girls’ school in Iran that killed 168 people. A preliminary U.S. assessment suggested that the United States was “likely” responsible for the attack but did not intentionally target the school and may have hit it in error. The impeachment resolution argues that Hegseth has engaged in conduct “that raises serious concerns of violations of the Geneva Conventions,” along with other binding U.S. obligations, citing his comments about giving “no quarter, no mercy for our enemies.” The impeachment articles cite Hegseth’s sharing of details about U.S. military operations in Yemen in a private Signal group chat last year, saying he has “demonstrated gross negligence in the handling of sensitive and classified military information.” The resolution claims he has engaged in efforts to obstruct constitutional oversight by withholding information on the Venezuela and Iran operations. And it claims he has “shaken public confidence in the integrity and ability of the Department of Defense” in part by undermining the U.S. commitment to NATO. Pentagon Press Secretary Kingsley Wilson said the impeachment effort represents “just another Democrat trying to make headlines as the Department of War decisively and overwhelmingly achieved the Presidents’ objectives in Iran.” “Secretary Hegseth will continue to protect the homeland and project peace through strength,” Wilson said in a statement. “This is just another charade in an attempt to distract the American people from the major successes we have had here at the Department of War.” The resolution is co-sponsored by a number of Democrats, including Reps. Sarah McBride of Delaware, Lauren Underwood of Illinois, Al Green of Texas, Steve Cohen of Tennessee, Jasmine Crockett of Texas, Nikema Williams of Georgia, Dina Titus of Nevada, Dave Min of California, Shri Thanedar of Michigan, Melanie Stansbury of New Mexico, Mike Quigley of Illinois and Brittany Pettersen of Colorado. Ansari teased the plan last week amid President Trump’s increasing threats to target Iranian infrastructure if a deal was not reached to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Ansari, the first Iranian-American Democrat elected to Congress, said in a post on X that the “rhetoric has crossed every line,” claiming “Hegseth is complicit.” “I’ve called for the 25th Amendment and am introducing Articles of Impeachment against Hegseth,” Ansari added. Impeachment is the first step in the process of removing executive and judicial branch officials from office. The House is responsible for approving impeachment articles, which are akin to charges in an indictment. The Senate is tasked with holding a trial to determine whether the accused is guilty and should be removed from office. Only two Cabinet officials have ever been impeached: Secretary of War William Belknap in 1876, and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas in 2024. Belknap was ultimately acquitted. In Mayorkas’ case, the Senate’s Democratic majority dispensed with the charges shortly after the trial began.
Major Shift: ALL But 7 Senate Democrats Vote to Block Arms Sales to Israel
The new Nazi party. The two anti-Israel resolutions to ban arms sales to Israel were authored by the vicious Jew-hater Senator Bernie Sanders. 85% of all Senate Democrats voted to support this action. All while Israel fights for its life against Iran and its terror proxies. Shame on any Jewish American who votes Democrat – they are a disgrace. As for AIPAC, this vote represents a disastrous humiliation for the pro-Israel lobbying group. AIPAC has failed miserably in confronting the pro-Palestinian and Israel-hating Left, who have destroyed the bipartisan support Israel enjoyed for decades. At this point, one has to question if AIPAC even has a shred of credibility left.

Wednesday was the third time in as many years that the Senate voted on resolutions to limit weapons sales to Israel, introduced and promoted by the Vermont independent and progressive leader Bernie Sanders. In 2024, 19 Democrats voted for at least one of the “Block the Bombs” resolutions on the table at the time. Last year, 24 senators endorsed the move.
