(CNN) Sen. Bernie Sanders will meet on Wednesday with former staff members who alleged they faced harassment and sexism on his 2016 campaign.

A spokesperson for Sanders confirmed the meeting to CNN, which was first reported by BuzzFeed News . The meeting also comes as Sanders is weighing a second presidential bid in 2020.

Sanders apologized again last week to the women who have come forward in recent weeks to allege they were sexually harassed while working on his presidential campaign.

"What they experienced was absolutely unacceptable, and certainly not what a progressive campaign or any campaign should be about," Sanders said last week at a news conference. "When we talk about -- and I do all of the time -- ending sexism, and ending all forms of discrimination, those beliefs cannot just be words. ... They must be based in day to day reality and in the work that we do. And that was not the case, clearly not the case, in the 2016 campaign."

The Vermont senator was responding to a question about a Politico report revealing allegations that an operative, Robert Becker, who worked for the campaign in Iowa and Michigan and other states forcibly kissed a subordinate who had previously worked with him. Sanders denied having any knowledge of a $30,000 federal discrimination settlement from the 2016 campaign, reported by Politico, involving two former staffers and tied to Becker. Becker denied the allegations in a text to CNN.
