Reps. Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene called on Congress Thursday to release the names of current and former members on a secret list of lawmakers that have used taxpayer money to settle sexual harassment claims.

“Congress has secretly paid out more than $17 million of your money to quietly settle charges of harassment (sexual and other forms) in Congressional offices,” Massie (R-Ky.) wrote on X.

“Don’t you think we should release the names of the Representatives? I do,” he added.

Massie’s suggestion was quickly endorsed by Greene (R-Ga.).

“Yes. I want to release the congressional sexual slush fund list,” the congresswoman wrote on X.

“Taxpayers should have never had to pay for that. Along with all the other garbage they should not have to pay for,” she argued.

Since 1997, the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights has paid out more than $17 million in public money to settle nearly 300 cases of workplace disputes at the US Capitol – including claims related to sexual harassment, discrimination, retaliation and pay disputes.

The obscure office does not release the identities of those have reached settlements and does not break down how much of the money disbursed over the last 27 years is specifically related to sexual harassment claims.

The office told Politico in 2017 that “a large portion of cases” it resolves involve workers not employed in the House or Senate, such as Library of Congress, Capitol Police and Architect of the Capitol employees.
