Rep. Patrick Meehan has resigned following news that he settled a sexual harassment claim with an aide, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported Friday.
The backdrop: Meehan, an Ethics Committee member, reportedly "grew hostile" with an aide when she did not reciprocate his romantic interests. It was reported in January that Meehan wouldn't be running for re-election.
