Republican Congressman Accused of Sexually Harassing Two Male Staffers

  • Florida lawmaker Fabian Basabe has been accused of sexually harassing two former employees in a lawsuit filed this week.
  • The lawsuit claims Basabe groped and slapped the staffers, made inappropriate comments and advances, and forced them to sign non-disclosure agreements.
  • The staffers are seeking over $100,000 in damages from Basabe for the alleged abuse.
  • Basabe denies the accusations, calling the lawsuit frivolous, but House Speaker Paul Renner says an investigation will be conducted.
  • The allegations come as CBS and the Miami Herald were investigating Basabe for similar claims of sexual misconduct.
