House Ethics Committee Shares List of Congress Members Investigated for Sexual Misconduct Since 1976

Congress has devolved into a group of politicians running amok and sexually harassing staffers, pocketing cash and shamelessly misbehaving under the protection of fellow politicians who disgracefully turn a blind eye to the abuse on Capitol Hill, sources allege to Globe.

According to The Hill, the House Ethics Committee recently released a list of 27 members of Congress investigated by the panel starting in 1976, following the uproar over Democrat Eric Swalwell of California and Republican Tony Gonzales of Texas, who were recently forced to resign for having relations with staffers and others. (Swalwell has denied all allegations; Gonzales initially denied allegations of an extramarital affair with a staffer, Regina Santos-Aviles, who died by suicide in September 2025, but he later admitted to the relationship, calling it a “lapse in judgment.”)

The disgraced pair — both married — are joined by Democrat Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick of Florida, who resigned while facing criminal charges of stealing $5 million in federal disaster funds (which she denies), and Republican Cory Mills, also of Florida, who, as of press time, is refusing to step down following allegations of sexual misconduct and “dating violence” along with campaign finance chicanery, NBC reported. (Mills also denies any wrongdoing.)

“We don’t care what party you’re in. Stealing millions in taxpayer dollars, sexually assaulting your staff, lying about your service record, none of it is acceptable and none of it goes unnoticed,” no-nonsense South Carolina Republican Nancy Mace, who is leading the charge to “clean house,” said in a press release.

“Every one of them needs to resign immediately,” adds Mace, who introduced a resolution to expel Mills. “The American people deserve a Congress worthy of their trust. The House needs to be cleaned out, and it starts with these four.”

Renowned political expert Hank Sheinkopf believes the MeToo movement spreading on Capitol Hill stems from the wide-ranging Jeffrey Epstein sex-trafficking scandal and the release of Department of Justice documents showing how a bevy of young women were abused by fat cats who were never prosecuted.

“There is a general sense by the public that those in power are getting away with the worst kind of crimes while others are not,” he tells Globe. “It’s a MeToo moment all right, and the good news for the Republicans is that it’s bipartisan and the bad news for the Democrats is that it’s bipartisan. No one gets out of here alive unless they take action against their colleagues, and Washington is historically reluctant to do that!”

In a stunning two-page letter obtained by Globe, the committee states it has investigated 20 sexual harassment cases since 2017 but only provided the names of 15 suspects — meaning five misconduct investigations remain under wraps. “There should be zero tolerance for sexual misconduct, harassment, or discrimination in the halls of Congress, or in any employment setting,” the letter states.

One recently outed investigation involves North Carolina Democrat Alma Adams, who allegedly had a relationship with a staffer, according to the website Notus. (A spokesperson for Adams denied wrongdoing, stating the committee closed the matter after finding no violation of House rules.)

Other alleged people on the committee’s investigative list include New York’s George Santos for defrauding donors (he pleaded guilty to wire fraud and identify theft, and had his 87-month prison sentence commuted by President Donald Trump after three months behind bars, per a U.S. Attorney’s Office press release); California’s Gary Condit, who was eyed in the 2001 murder of his mistress intern Chandra Levy (he’s consistently denied any involvement); Florida’s Mark Foley in 2006 for exchanging suggestive messages with teen congressional pages (charges were never filed; Foley called his behavior “wrong and without question inappropriate,” per CNN); and Florida’s Matt Gaetz in 2024 for sexual misconduct with minors (he denied it), according to the 19thNews.org website, just to name a few.

The Globe can also reveal between 1997 and 2019 Congress laid out $18 million from a taxpayer-funded “slush fund” to settle about 300 workplace disputes including multiple cases of sexual harassment complaints.

Mace said she wants to see an “avalanche” of resignations: “Congress has serious moral and ethical problems. Washington has protected its own for too long. It needs to end now.”
