House Speaker Mike Johnson says he would support expanding the House’s existing rules on lawmakers’ sexual relationships with congressional staff. Speaking Tuesday, Johnson indicated he would back a change to broaden the prohibition beyond the current scope, in response to calls from some House Republicans—particularly members who have urged a ban that would cover lawmakers’ relationships with any Capitol Hill staffer. ABC News reports Johnson supports revising House rules to bar members from having relationships with any staffer on Capitol Hill. The Hill and the Washington Times similarly describe Johnson as endorsing an expansion and a broader standard for when lawmakers’ conduct with staff is prohibited. The accounts agree that the proposal would be implemented through House rule changes and is framed as part of a bipartisan push. The reports also note that Johnson was asked directly about whether he would support banning lawmakers from having relationships with any Capitol Hill staff, and he indicated support for such an approach.
