House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) responded, saying that she has accepted Conyers’ temporary resignation from the committee.
Earlier Sunday morning, Pelosi defended Conyers and would not say whether she believed the allegations, which reportedly included one case involving a monetary settlement.
