House Speaker Paul Ryan said lawmakers and staff will undergo mandatory sexual harassment training after two congresswomen told a panel stories of misconduct by male members they said often goes unchecked.
Ryan’s statement Tuesday comes as sexual harassment in business and politics has become a front-burner issue in the U.S. The speaker said his office will work with the committees on administration, ethics and rules to craft the new policies.
