| Description | U.S. Rep Pat Meehan acknowledged Tuesday that he had developed a deep “affection” for a younger aide and told her that he saw her as “a soul mate” last year, but said he never pursued a romantic relationship with the woman and, despite paying her a secret settlement, denied her claims of sexual harassment.
He said he felt bad about acting “rough” in his office, but said that was a result of the health care vote, when he faced intense pressure from both sides of the debate.
“Sometimes I have the tendency to lash out to others on the staff … and you go hardest on the ones that you care the most about,” Meehan said in the interview. |
