Pressure mounts to unmask Hill harassers

Lawmakers in both parties say members of Congress shouldn't be allowed to use taxpayer money to settle harassment claims without being named.

A simple way to "drain the swamp". I'm all for it!
Bottom line is that we - the taxpayers - paid our hard-earned money for these settlements, so it goes without saying that we should know what we paid for.
I can't believe there isn't a HUGE outcry to know the details of these payments!
It OUR money!
