Meanwhile, there’s growing speculation that Michigan Democratic Congressmember John Conyers may step down, as he faces additional accusations of sexual harassment. Several Congressional Black Caucus members are urging him to resign as another woman has come forward to accuse the longtime civil rights leader of sexual harassment. Former staff member Deanna Maher says he repeatedly made unwanted sexual advances on her, including once removing all his clothes in front of her while the two were staying in a two-bedroom hotel suite while attending a three-day Congressional Black Caucus event. Conyers also reportedly settled a harassment complaint in 2015, paying out $27,000 to a woman who alleged she was fired from his Washington staff because she rejected his sexual advances.
