Massa Wrote $40,000 Check to Aide Day Before Resignation

Former New York Rep. Eric Massa wrote a $40,000 check to his chief of staff Joe Racalto — the day before his resignation. Racalto has accused Massa of sexual harassment.

Massa gave Racalto the money as a “campaign management fee” for work done on his 2010 campaign and his transition after his 2008 win.

The Washington Post also reports that Massa drew attention to himself when he tried to pick up a young bartender at the funeral of a Marine killed in Afghanistan.
