Farenthold Defends Settlement of Lawsuit

Rep. Blake Farenthold (R-TX) told KRIS-TV that he’s going to pay back the money taxpayers spent settling a lawsuit filed against his office by a former employee.

The four-term congressmen said “he was not given a choice in whether to spend his own money, or the taxpayers’, when handling the suit in which former employee Lauren Greene alleged the Congressman, and key staff members, created a hostile work environment and then, retaliated against her when she complained.”

Said Farenthold: “The process is broken.”
