​A Republican congressman from Texas said​ ​on Monday that he will reimburse taxpayers for the $84,000​ his office used to settle a sexual harassment lawsuit brought by ​his former spokeswoman.

“I’m going to hand a check over this week to probably Speaker Ryan, or somebody, and say ‘look, here’s the amount of my settlement, give it back to the taxpayers,’”​ ​Rep. Blake​ ​Farenthold told an NBC affiliate in Corpus Christi, Texas.

Lauren Greene sued Farenthold, a millionaire, in 2014 claiming one of his aides told her the congressman had “sexual fantasies” about her and often “drank to excess.”

When she complained, Greene said Farenthold fired her and she sued him for gender discrimination and sexual harassment.

​The case was dropped after they reached an agreement.

The amount was never disclosed until last week when it was revealed that Farenthold – who is worth more than $5 million – used a taxpayer-funded office to pay the settlement.

“I want to be clear that I didn’t do anything wrong, but I also don’t want the taxpayers to be on the hook for this,” Farenthold told the station. “And I want to be able to talk about it and fix the system without people saying, ‘Blake, you benefited from the system, you don’t have a right to talk about it or fix it.’ ”

Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) is also accused of using $27,000 in taxpayer funds to settle a wrongful dismissal charge by a former employee in 2015.
