Like las vegas massacre, this is a nagging mystery. How these sleaze balls get away with this is beyond comprehension. I remember well how outraged the public was when some members floated checks close to payday. This is worse by a factor of a thousand.
Sorry, but 19 is an adult. Now, if that guy had been abused as a child, and this money was used to pay him off, that would be different. And worthy of investigation. Under the current House/Senate rules, using taxpayer money to settle issues like this is "legal."
Want to fix it? Blast your Senators and Congress critters to end this practice. Good luck, though, because most in Congress, even the females, have probably used this slush fund to keep their secrets...well...secret.
I agree 19 is legal age, but being sexually harassed by a 53 year old when you are 19 is disgusting and I think sexual harassment is classed as a crime. I could be wrong.
Why do we have to pay for that! It makes us a party to crimes? First we’re paying for his crimes as if we r the guilty party as if we are accomplices. Second wouldn’t this be a misuse of public funds to pay for his personal legal fees? That used to be a crime I thought? In the old days. Any politition who breaks the law should be kicked out without any benefits or retirement. I agree with 307Sleeper.
I’m sure we paid for the poor soul’s funeral.
Neither was Anthony Bourdain.
SCUM of the earth.
This makes me so angry that I am unable to respond.
...19 yr old boy is a pretty ridiculous title aka mostly peaceful ;)
19? Seems a little old for Schitt.
Probably 19 at the time of settlement...probably younger at the time of the evil deed.
Who is breaking this story?
Wonder how much overlap there is with Epstein's victim funds. Or are these two funds one in the same?
Because congressman and their girlfriends split the payoff

Was this information brought to you from the confiscated Epstein videos?

Probably true but probably not proven.
More than once.
Why do you think we keep getting all these distractions in the MSM news cycles?

I heard that congress has a large fund available for their own! Disgusting that they even have a fund for it in advance!
