Kirsten Gillibrand's Senate office restructured a top aide's role in the wake of sexual harassment allegations between two other staffers last year, a Gillibrand aide tells CNN
A Gillibrand aide acknowledged that post-investigation, there had been human error in communicating with the woman who made the accusations. The aide said that Deputy Chief of Staff Anne Bradley, who made the error, would no longer have any involvement with investigations or personnel cases in the office. Bradley's title did not change.
"Your office chose to go against your public belief that women shouldn't accept sexual harassment in any form and portrayed my experience as a misinterpretation instead of what it actually was: harassment and ultimately, intimidation."The handling of the situation did not sit well with a number of Democratic activists, including Angela Rye, a CNN commentator. When asked for her thoughts on the situation, Rye called it"pretty incredible.
