Line 281: − − ===Endorsements=== − The Harris campaign proudly announced an endorsement from Democratic Rep. [[Alcee Hastings]] (Fla.), who was at the center of a $220,000 taxpayer-funded sexual harassment settlement. The $220,000 sexual harassment settlement was paid in 2014. ''Roll Call'' obtained documents showing a former staffer said Hastings "touched her, made unwanted sexual advances, and threatened her job." Hastings also employed a convicted [[money laundering|money launderer]], is paying his girlfriend the maximum congressional salary, and is known as one of the top ethics violators in Congress. While on the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Hastings was charged with soliciting a $150,000 bribe from undercover FBI officers. Hastings was acquitted after his alleged conspirator refused to testify despite a promise of immunity, but he was instead successfully [[impeach]]ed by a Democrat-controlled Congress. Harris said she is proud to have Hasting's endorsement. − − Harris was endorsed by Rep. [[Al Green]] (D., Texas), who was made Texas co-chairman of her campaign and has also been accused of [[sexual harassment]] by a staffer. − − Harris's husband headlined a fundraiser by the law firm that defended [[Jeffrey Epstein]] hours before Harris criticized the firm for defending Epstein.<ref>https://freebeacon.com/uncategorized/kamala-harris-criticized-epsteins-law-firm-while-her-campaign-fundraised-off-it/</ref>
