*The Wall Street Journal *is reportingthat South Florida Congressman Alcee Hastingsfaces an ethics investigation stemming from sexual harassment allegations: #
“„It began at least a month ago after Judicial Watch, a conservative group, filed a lawsuit as the legal counsel for Winsome Packer, a staffer on a commission Mr. Hastings headed. She alleged that she had been sexually harassed by the congressman and that he retaliated when she tried to report it. #

When the suit was filed in March, Mr. Hastings denied the allegations, saying it was filled with “numerous inaccuracies and untruths.” He said he would win any case. “In a race with a lie, the truth always wins.” #
The investigation is still in its early stages. The independent Office of Congressional Ethics arm has 90 days to recommend whether the House ethics panel should launch its own investigation. #
