Former Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti was on the verge of being confirmed as US ambassador to India Wednesday after his nomination cleared a key Senate test vote — with seven Republicans voting in favor despite a sexual misconduct scandal involving one of Garcetti’s top advisers.
Sen. Chuck Grassley , the ranking member of the Judiciary Committee, said in a statement Tuesday that he strongly opposed Garcetti’s confirmation because the California politician had “enabled sexual harassment and racism to run rampant in the Los Angeles mayor’s office.”REUTERS“When the nomination expired, I had hoped President Biden would recognize his egregious mistake, believe the victims, and change course,” Grassley added. “President Biden failed to do so.
Grassley and fellow Iowa Republican Sen. Joni Ernst placed a hold on Garcetti’s nomination last year to look into the allegations.Former US Rep. Karen Bass replaced Garcetti as the city’s mayor in January.Majority Whip Sen. Dick Durbin admitted to reporters before the vote on Wednesday that he hadn’t “whipped [Garcetti’s] nomination.”
The officer, Matthew Garza, and communications director, Naomi Seligman, said Jacobs would engage in unwanted physical touch, at one point forcibly kissing Seligman during her tenure from 2015 to 2017.
