Florida Rep. Carlos Giménez’s office settled an employment discrimination claim to the tune of $25,000 last year, according to new records from the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights.

His was the only lawmaker’s office to settle a workplace discrimination complaint last year, the OCWR’s annual reports show. The public record, first reported by NOTUS, says little about the nature of the claim.

“I’m not going to comment on that. It’s pretty self-explanatory. I wasn’t involved in any way, shape or form,” Giménez, a Republican, told NOTUS on Capitol Hill on Monday evening.
