Blake Farenthold Won't Repay $84,000 Taxpayer Money Used in Sexual Harassment Settlement
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Former Texas Republican Congressmember Blake Farenthold says he will not
pay taxpayers back after he used $84,000 of public money to settle a
2014 sexual harassment lawsuit with his former communications director,
Lauren Greene. Greene says Farenthold "blackballed" her from politics
when she accused him of sexual harassment, gender discrimination and
creating a hostile work environment.
