MI Rep. Conyers admits to paying settlement, denies harassment allegations

Rep. John Conyers is now admitting that he paid a settlement to a former staffer but is denying sexual harassment allegations from the same staffer. In an amended statement released to 7 Action News on Tuesday afternoon, Conyers said, "I expressly and vehemently denied the allegations made against me, and continue to do so.  My office resolved the allegations – with an express denial of liability – in order to save all involved from the rigors of protracted litigation."
