Lawyers Say Rep. John Conyers to Challenge Sexual Harassment Charges

HeadlineNov 30, 2017

Meanwhile, lawyers for John Conyers say the 88-year-old Democratic congressmember will not step down amid multiple accusations of sexual harassment. The lawyers told the AP that Conyers is innocent and will fight the allegations “tooth and nail.” Several women have accused Conyers of stripping naked, making unwanted sexual overtures and touching female staffers inappropriately. Last week, BuzzFeed News reported Conyers settled a harassment complaint in 2015, paying out $27,000 to a woman who alleged she was fired after rejecting Conyers’ sexual advances.
