Bernie Sanders Will Meet With 2016 Ex-Staffers About Harassment Allegations
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) will meet this week with women staffers from his 2016 presidential campaign to discuss their allegations of sexual harassment and a hostile work environment during his prior bid for the presidency.
Last week, The Daily Beast reported that the meeting would soon be taking place with the senator, as his circle had swiftly moved to ensure the men who had been accused of misconduct would not return to the team should Sanders seek the presidency again.
On Monday, BuzzFeed News reported that the meeting will take place on Wednesday, a fact which The Daily Beast confirmed with two sources directly familiar with the meeting. Additionally, according to one source planning to attend, travel is currently being arranged to Washington D.C. for former staffers who plan to attend.
