Investigation finds 'pervasive' sex harassment at company run by Trump nominee for NOAA

A federal investigation found “severe and pervasive” sexual harassment of female employees at AccuWeather while the company was run by a man nominated by President Donald Trump to head a federal agency.

A redacted copy of the January report was obtained by The Associated Press following Trump’s controversial nomination of former AccuWeather CEO Barry Myers to head the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Myers was CEO during the “pervasive” harassment but he stepped down early this year and divested himself of ownership in preparation for taking over NOAA.

The Senate needs to hold a new hearing for Barry Myers, nominee to head NOAA, who has close ties to a company that is significantly affected by NOAA's work, as @CREWcrew's @waltshaub argues. https://t.co/B6j9phJMCu “AccuWeather, which is still owned and operated by members of Mr. Myers’ family, profits in part off of data that is produced by the offices Mr. Myers would oversee. Unless he recuses from particular matters that will have a direct and predicable effect on the company, the agency’s decision-making could be compromised,” said a letter sent earlier this month to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.
