The House Ethics Committee announced Thursday that it was opening an investigation into Rep. Blake Farenthold, nearly a week after revelations that the Texas Republican paid a sexual harassment settlement with taxpayers' money.

The committee will investigate whether Farenthold sexually harassed a former member of his staff. It will also examine whether Farenthold discriminated against the former staffer based on her gender – and retaliated against her for complaining about discrimination.

The investigation will also look into allegations that Farenthold made inappropriate statements to other members of his staff.
