And this won't surprise you

Although it might well piss you off.

The 1995 law that first required Congress to follow federal workplace standards also created a special U.S. Treasury fund, using taxpayer dollars, to quietly and discretely settle sexual harassment claims made against federal lawmakers. Almost every other federal agency is required to pay lawsuit damages and legal fees from their own office funds.

While sexual harassment is an under-reported crime in most workplaces, making claims against a member of Congress or their staff requires the accuser to consent to a lengthy process that includes submitting a written statement within 180 days of the incident, 30 days of counseling and then another month of mediation.

And while the employer is immediately notified, the lawmaker’s identity remains confidential throughout the entire process, which is overseen by a special congressional office charged with trying to resolve the cases out of court.
