Clinton Ignored Staffers' Sexual Harassment Allegations During 2008 Campaign.
The #MeToo movement is finally coming for Hillary Clinton, who has for years been dogged by accusations that she helped intimidate women accusing her husband of certain improprieties.
In a bombshell report, the New York Times reported that a senior adviser to Hillary Clinton was kept on her 2008 campaign despite allegations that he sexually harassed a young female staffer. Clinton's campaign manager at the time advised the campaign to fire the adviser, Burns Strider, who served as the faith adviser to the campaign, and reportedly sent Clinton Bible verses every day.
Instead, Clinton intervened: Strider was kept on, but he was docked several weeks' pay and underwent counseling. Notably, Strider was a founder of the American Values Network.
Five years later, Strider was hired by Clinton associates to lead Correct the Record, a group that supported Clinton's candidacy. He was fired a few months later following allegations that he harassed a female staffer there.
The woman who filed the initial complaint against Strider was 30 at the time. She shared an office with him and alleged that he had rubbed her shoulders inappropriately, kissed her on the forehead and sent her a string of "suggestive" emails.
The woman's complaint was relayed to Clinton by Doyle, who urged the candidate to fire Strider - he was married at the time.
HRC backer paid $500k to fund women accusing Trump of sexual misconduct.
