Rep. John Conyers, who is facing allegations of sexual misconduct by a number of former staffers, has been hospitalized in Detroit for stress-related issues, according to a report on Thursday.

Sam Riddle, a spokesman for Conyers, confirmed the 88-year-old Democratic congressman is seeking treatment at a hospital, CBS Detroit reported.

“Monica Conyers, Mrs. Conyers, is by his side and we just ask, really the nation, to pray for this Congressman that has done so much for the nation,” said Riddle.

​He blamed Conyers’ ill health on ​the accusations in the media.

“The congressman’s health is not what it should be and lot of that is directly attributable to this media assault,” Riddle told ClickOnDetroit.

​Conyers, the longest-serving member of the House, has been accused by several former staffers of inappropriately touching them.

He has denied the claims but said he will not seek re-election in 2018.

While he has stepped down as the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, he has resisted calls to resign.

Riddle said the women’s claims are unfounded.

“These serial accusers are being given way too much credibility because #metoo is trending. The congressman’s contributions to the nation go far beyond any hashtags that are trending right now,” he said.
