Rep. Blake Farenthold settled sexual harassment claim exposed The New York Post reported Farenthold used taxpayer dollars to settle the claim with his former spokeswoman, Lauren Greene. The lawsuit alleges he "regularly drank to excess" and said he was "estranged from his wife and had not had sex with her in years." …Farenthold told Greene that she had something on her skirt and that he hoped his comment wouldn’t be taken for sexual harassment. Greene was eventually fired after complaining about his conduct. The settlement amounted to $84,000.
