Congress

A Democrat had not been elected to the Senate from Alabama in a quarter century. It happened Tuesday night. Here's what it all means.

Two additional congressmen are facing allegations of sexual harassment and calls to step down from the House of Representatives.

First-term Rep. Ruben Kihuen, D-Nev., is accused of making repeated unwanted sexual advances toward a onetime campaign staffer. Kihuen has apologized and said he takes the "matter seriously."

The Minnesota Democrat, speaking to reporters on Capitol Hill for the first time since multiple accusations of sexual harassment, said he is sorry but reiterated he would not give up his Senate seat.

Congressional Republicans hope to pass a sweeping tax overhaul before Christmas, but first they'll have to resolve some major policy differences that could derail the bill.

BuzzFeed obtained documents detailing a sealed 2015 settlement with a former employee, with a $27,000 payout. The Michigan Democrat says the settlement was made to avoid "protracted litigation."

There is no precedent for expelling a duly-elected Senate member for actions committed before they took office. In fact, there is little precedent for expelling senators at all.

The House Ways and Means Committee is expected to approve a sweeping plan to cut taxes for most individuals and businesses. Senate Republicans are set to unveil their own vision for taxes.
