South Carolina GOP Rep. Nancy Mace claimed Monday that Congress’ sexual harassment slush fund allegedly paid for settlements for a handful of former lawmakers that equaled more than $300,000.

Mace promised accountability for the victims, and the House paid out approximately $338,000 to settle the cases. One former lawmaker was targeted in sexual assault lawsuits three times and the House cumulatively paid out $115,000 to dismiss those cases.

The House Oversight panel subpoenaed information detailing the government payouts after a March committee vote, seeking a full accounting of payouts made before the settlements ended in 2018, according to Politico.

"You, the American people, paid for this," Mace said on X. "Taxpayer dollars were used to silence victims of sexual harassment by Members of Congress. We said we would get you names. Here they are, along with the amounts."

The list names former New York Democratic Rep. Eric Massa three times and former Michigan Democratic Rep. John Conyers once. Other names on the list included former GOP Reps. Blake Farenthold of Texas, Patrick Meehan of Pennsylvania and Rodney Alexander of Louisiana.

The office of the late Democratic New York Rep. Carolyn McCarthy was also listed in the files with a settlement of $8,000.

The highest single payouts went to alleged victims of Massa ($85,000) and Farenthold ($84,000). All three of Massa's settlements were paid out in 2010. 

The disclosures come after Congress passed a law in 2018 that barred the federal government from paying for lawmakers’ settlements for sexual harassment claims. No payments have been made since 2017.
