| After being told the incident happened in April 2015, Fourkiller said; "I was informed by the House chief clerk and an attorney that a female page said Fourkiller had made her feel uncomfortable. I do not know what I did or said, but whatever it was I certainly didn’t mean to do it, and I apologized,” he said. He said that is the only incident that he was made aware of by House staff. The House declined to release a copy of the complaint, saying it was part of the complaining party’s personnel file and can’t be disclosed. There was no financial settlement in the complaint against Fourkiller, Sutton said. |
