A former female staffer for a congressional commission received $220,000 as part of a settlement from a lawsuit she filed alleging Rep. Alcee Hastings, D-Fla., sexually harassed her.
The former staffer, Winsome Packer, worked for the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe, also known as the Helsinki Commission, and accused Hastings of “unwelcome touching” and “unwelcome sexual advances” in a lawsuit filed against him, according to Roll Call.
Packer also alleged Hastings threatened to fire her for objecting to his behavior.
The Treasury Department paid $220,000 in a previously undisclosed agreement to settle a lawsuit alleging sexual harassment that involved Florida Democrat Alcee L. Hastings, according to documents obtained by Roll Call.

I have to wonder if Jack Lew's Treasury Dept. paid off anybody else we don't yet know about.......if that's really what these funds were used for. I swear...the American Taxpayer is treated like a money tree to be plucked anytime a politician feels like it.
