The results of my subpoena of Congress’s sexual harassment slush fund are in. Nine members. One thousand pages. All records prior to 2004 were destroyed - which tells you everything you need to know about how long this has been buried. We are reviewing every page. We will name all nine. We will release the full 1,000 pages - once we confirm that personally identifiable information of victims and witnesses has been properly redacted. Accountability is not a threat. It is a promise.
