Former Rep. Eric Massa (D-N.Y.) has been under investigation for allegations that he groped multiple male staffers working in his office, according to three sources familiar with the probe.
The allegations surrounding the former lawmaker date back at least a year, and involve “a pattern of behavior and physical harassment,” according to one source. The new claims of alleged groping contradict statements by Massa, who resigned his office on Monday after it became public that he was the subject of a House ethics committee investigation for possible harassment.
I can say that local media are finally talking and noting that rumors of potential inappropriate conduct between Massa and male staff are not new, but because they were unsubstantiated they were not reported previously. Reminder Massa is appearing on Glenn Beck’s FOX News program tonight. Look for him to continue unloading on Democratic leaders and as he does, for more information to suddenly start leaking!
