Lawmakers sound off on push to ban members of Congress from sleeping with staff

Lawmakers from both parties are supporting a legislative push to ban members of Congress from engaging in sexual relationships with House staff. The initiative, proposed by Colorado Representative Jeff Crank, aims to extend existing ethics rules but faces criticism for allowing exceptions if relationships are disclosed to the House Ethics Committee. Examples of controversial behavior include reports of a North Carolina representative gifting handguns to staff and an Arizona senator accused of past relationships with congressional staff.
