| Description | Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) issued an unprompted joint statement with a female former staffer who years ago made and later dropped allegations of sexual assault, with the two on Monday calling the matter "absolutely resolved."
Green and Lucinda Daniels said that due to the current political "climate" they wished to "jointly quiet any curious minds about our former and present relationship with one another."
"This matter has been resolved without payment of any money or transfer of any consideration of any kind by either of us to the other," Green and Daniels said Monday. "As friends, we have both agreed that we see no need to make further statements regarding this absolutely resolved matters."
Green and Daniels added that they both "regret our former claims" and have "maintained a respectful relationship."
In the initial incident, Daniels had said the congressman assaulted her in 2007. Green in 2008 filed a lawsuit against Daniels in which he asked a federal judge to find he had never discriminated against her in the workplace, then withdrew it after Daniels signed a statement dropping her own allegations. |
