A GOP staffer accused CPAC head Matt Schlapp of sexually assaulting him, filing a $9.4 million lawsuit.
"I will never forget the look on Matt's face as he did what he did," the staffer told Insider.
Republicans in Congress — who typically flock to CPAC — are pleading ignorance on the issue.

In just over one month, the Conservative Political Action Coalition is set to hold a large gathering of influential Republicans at its annual conference near Washington, DC.
