A bill recently introduced in Congress would have required the release of documents related to sexual harassment and misconduct allegations involving members of Congress. The legislation sought to make records from the congressional complaint process—including investigative findings, settlements, and other documentation—available to the public while still protecting the identities and personal information of victims.
