How Nobel of him!
U.S. Rep. Blake Farenthold (R-TX 27th District) is promising to pay back taxpayer money used to settle a sexual harassment claim brought by his former spokeswoman.
The four-term congressman told KRIS-TV in Corpus Christi he "didn't do anything wrong" but didn't "want the taxpayers to be on the hook for this."
Lauren Greene, a former communications director for Farenthold, alleged in a 2014 federal lawsuit that she was sexually harassed and fired soon after complaining of a hostile work environment.
Politico first reported Friday that Farenthold used $84,000 in taxpayer funds from the House Office of Compliance to settle the claim.
