Luke Messer (IN-06) joined Fox News this afternoon to discuss his legislation to stop taxpayer dollars from being used to silence victims of sexual assault and protect members of Congress. “It was never OK that taxpayer dollars would be used to silence these victims,” Messer said in the interview. “If a victim wants the opportunity to speak out and tell their story, they should be allowed to do so…we should empower the victim.” Messer’s bill would release Congressional staff from current non-disclosure agreements signed as part of a sexual assault settlement with a Member of Congress, and prohibit non-disclosure agreements like this in the future. It would also prevent taxpayer dollars from being used to settle sexual harassment claims by a member of Congress or employee of the House or Senate. Rep. Messer’s full interview on Fox News can be found below and here. f t # e 1 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z
