Sen. Chuck Schumer said Wednesday that he is "pursuing every legal path" against whoever circulated a forged document accusing him of harassment.
Several media outlets were shopped a document alleging Schumer wrongdoing and listing allegations by a former Schumer staff aide.
Separately, the woman, who requested anonymity to maintain her privacy, reached out to The Associated Press to declare the document a fake and vouch for Schumer.
“The claims in this document are completely false, my signature is forged, and even basic facts about me are wrong,” she said in an email. “I have contacted law enforcement to determine who is responsible. I parted with Senator Schumer’s office on good terms and have nothing but the fondest memories of my time there.”
Schumer’s office has asked the Capitol Police to investigate.
“The document is a forged document and every allegation is false. We have turned it over to the Capitol Police and asked them to investigate and pursue criminal charges because it is clear the law has been broken,” said Schumer spokesman Matt House.

Remember this when they file fake ones for other people.
