"Mr. Conyers is not going to resign," Conyers' attorney, Arnold Reed, told CNN on Wednesday.

ADVERTISEMENT "If everybody that was facing 'allegations' -- including the President, members of the House and Senate -- resigned, we'd have a lot of unemployed people walking around," he said, adding that the congressman is taking the allegations against him "very seriously."

Reed denied the allegations against Conyers, the longest-serving member of the House.

"At the end of the day, Mr. Conyers is not guilty of harassing these women who have come forward. It didn't happen," he told the news outlet.

The attorney's remarks fall on the heels of a report that includes new allegations against Conyers in which a D.C.-based ethics lawyer alleges the lawmaker harassed and verbally abused her while she worked for him in the 1990s.

Melanie Sloan, who formerly led Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, told The Washington Post that Conyers had invited her to his office where she found him wearing nothing but underwear.

Reed dismissed Sloan's claims, questioning "why it's a story."
