Representative Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) is calling for an investigation into the alleged use of federal funds by members of Congress to pay off people accusing them of sexual misconduct.
In a social media post, Rep. Luna wrote, "I am calling on Chairman @RepTimBurchett of the DOGE Committee, which I serve on, to open an investigation and hold hearings to determine how many federal dollars have been spent on the congressional slush fund used to pay off victims of sexual misconduct by members of Congress."
This week, Representative Nancy Mace (R-SC) introduced a resolution demanding that the House Ethics Committee release any and all reports of sexual misconduct or relationships with staff, as allegations mount against Representative Tony Gonzales (R-TX) over an alleged affair with a staffer who later committed suicide by self-immolation.
"If you sexually harass someone in Congress, you do not get to hide behind closed doors," Rep. Mace said in a statement. "Tony Gonzales showed us what is happening in Congress. But he is not the only one. The American people deserve answers. Staff deserve answers. Women deserve answers. No more protection for predators in Congress. We are going to shine a light on every single one of them."
Rep. Luna signaled her support for Rep. Mace's measure on social media, further claiming that she does "not trust the uniparty."
Last February, Representative Cory Mills (R-FL) landed himself in hot water over allegations of domestic abuse against Sarah Raviani, although both parties denied any violence had occurred.
Raviani personally contacted The Floridian, telling us, "While the personal matter in question was emotionally charged, there was no physical altercation. Regrettably, the situation has since been misrepresented by reporters and led to relentless harassment from various sources."
The Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Police closed their probe into the case in August.
