Should this be organized by political party? While I wouldn't exactly call it a bias method, I think it would be safer to organize it by date, such as in List of federal political sex scandals in the United States (obviously by month, rather than year). Xevus11 ( talk) 20:10, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
Is Roy Moore not a political figure accused child predator TheThomas ( talk) 02:00, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: not moved. While there are legitimate concerns about the current title, the consensus was not in favor of the proposed move. ( non-admin closure) James ( talk/ contribs) 19:43, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

2017 United States political sexual scandals → 2017 sexual harassment scandals – Please place your rationale for the proposed move here. Booksnarky ( talk) 05:31, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
The Me Too (hashtag) article was started long before this one. I could see Me Too (hashtag) being linked within this article's prose, but I don't support a merge into this one. --- Another Believer ( Talk) 23:46, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
This article or section appears to be slanted towards recent events. (December 2017)
The article title says it is about 2017 scandals, so this tag is saying the obvious, it is slated towards recent events.-- Dthomsen8 ( talk) 01:51, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
A few of these allegations seem to have happened in 2018. This shouldn't be that surprising because quite a few of the allegations came out in December 2017. Should we extend the article's title to include 2018 scandals? Falling Gravity 07:45, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
As it is nearly Xmas and people in high places are still having sex, should we move this to United States political sexual scandals During the Trump administration or just start a new article for 2019-20? Arglebargle79 ( talk) 14:00, 21 December 2018 (UTC) :Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppet of Ericl Johnsagent ( talk) 18:53, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
I noticed there's been a slow edit war over whether or not Trump's alleged affair with Stormy Daniels should be included. As the one who originally added this material, I believe this is within the article's scope. For one thing, it appears to cover allegations against American politicians near the end of 2017 and near the beginning of 2018 (right now it seems these scandals have mostly tempered down). The alleged extra-marital affair and subsequent hush money is definitely a scandal, even if you don't believe it actually happened (the same could be said about all the accusations listed here).

Keith Ellison is listed as a "state official;" he is actually a United States Representative from the 5th congressional district of Minnesota and should properly be listed as a federal official. Thanks! 21:42, 24 August 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.10.165.90 ( talk)
I think you all know what’s going on with him. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.172.180.75 ( talk) 19:26, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
Not sure who wrote this, but including guilty by association is silly. If you pull the whole guilty by association thing, we will be listing out everyone in Congress. Stick to the facts of the allegations, not fallacies. Ramirez accused Kavanaugh of indecent exposure, NOT sexual assault and Ford accused him of sexual assault. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.225.34.54 ( talk) 20:55, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of 2017–18 United States political sexual scandals's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT âš¡ 09:06, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
