REPORT: Sondland accused of sexual misconduct and retaliation prior to ambassadorship
As the most reliable and balanced news aggregation service on the internet, DML News App offers the following information published by WASHINGTONEXAMINER.COM:
United States Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland was accused of sexual misconduct and retaliation by three women. The allegations, which predate his time as an ambassador, were revealed publicly on Wednesday.
Sondland, who is at the center of the impeachment proceedings into President Trump, was accused by three women of unwanted advances. The allegations were first reported by ProPublica and the Portland Monthly.
The article goes on to state the following:
In one case, Nicole Vogel alleged that she met Sondland in 2003 as she tried to obtain funding for a new magazine she wanted to launch — she now owns and runs Portland Monthly. While he initially liked her idea and agreed to put in at least $25,000, that offer was changed after she turned down his advances. Vogel claims that after their first meeting about the potential business venture, Sondland invited her to one of the hotels he runs and he tried kissing her.
Another case involves Jana Solis, who met Sondland in 2008. According to Solis, Sondland “slap[ped] me on the ass” at their first meeting, when she was a “hospitality safety engineer for Marsh & McLennan” after he’s hired her for a job. Another time, she says he “exposed his genitalia to her,” the Examiner reports. A third incident involved kissing without her consent.
She also said he retaliated at work after “he didn’t get his way” with her.
A third case involves a woman named, Natalie Sept, who met Sondland in 2010. She says that after a dinner with Sondland was cut short, he accompanied her to her car. Then, he “push[ed] himself into me and tr[ied] to kiss me.”
Sondland’s lawyers denied all the claims.
Three women recall Sondland made unwanted sexual contact in business settings. One says he exposed himself. All recall professional retaliation after they rejected him. Sondland denies the allegations.https://t.co/nhnZIhj8bJ
