Is there any other source corroborating this or is it just this one Post article?

Apparently it's in the court case between Maltezos (the assistant who committed suicide's boyfriend) and the Wydens. It's also some leftover court stuff from Bass Wyden going after the assistant for allegedly stealing from her.

I wouldn't be surprised if some of this was made up to target Wyden politically, he has made a lot of enemies especially since he was so focused on stopping that KOSA act which does everything but keep kids safe.
