Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand defends her handling of allegations of sexual harassment in her Senate office
A woman who worked in Gillibrand's Senate office accused a senior staffer of sexual harassment in 2018. The accused staffer, Gillibrand military adviser Abbas Malik, was not fired for the allegations. The accuser told Gillibrand, her chief of staff Jess Fassler and general counsel Keith Castaldo that she was offering her resignation"because of how poorly the investigation and post-investigation was handled," according to a letter obtained by Politico.
The investigation, the aide said, took roughly a week to complete and the office worked to accommodate the accuser during that time, including moving Malik from the suite he shared with the accused in the senator's Russell Office Building office, canceling ongoing meetings so the accuser did not have to be in the same room with Malik and offering to allow the accuser to work from home.
