Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand defended her office’s handling of sexual harassment allegations from last summer and said she had “complete confidence” in Jess Fassler, her former chief of staff who recently became campaign manager for her presidential bid
The office said that after “a full and thorough investigation into the evidence, including multiple interviews with current employees who could have witnessed this behavior, the office concluded that the allegations did not meet the standard of sexual harassment.”
Gillibrand’s office said it did substantiate one inappropriate comment from the male aide — her longtime driver, Abbas Malik, who also had the title of military adviser — and took disciplinary action, including taking away a potential promotion that would have come with a raise. But the office did not reach out to two key former staffers whom the woman repeatedly said could help corroborate her claim of inappropriate workplace conduct. POLITICO contacted both, and one of them alleged that Malik called her fat and ugly to her face and once made a joke about sexual abuse. She claimed he once said that a woman they were discussing “couldn’t get laidAfter POLITICO presented this new information, Gillibrand’s aides opened another investigation and terminated Malik last week.
