A Democratic lawmaker in Kentucky said he has asked a state ethics commission to investigate a sexual harassment settlement involving four members of the state House.
Representative Jim Wayne said he filed a complaint with the Legislative Ethics Commission, which has the power to subpoena witnesses.
He wants the commission to investigate a settlement involving former Republican House Speaker Jeff Hoover and three other GOP lawmakers.
Hoover acknowledged the settlement and resigned from his leadership position earlier this month. House Republican leaders have hired a law firm to conduct their own investigation.
The commission investigated sexual harassment allegations against former Democratic Representative John Arnold in 2014 and voted to fine him $3,000.
