Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., placed a hold on President Biden's nominee as U.S. ambassador to India, former Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, citing that he has 'ignored credible sexual assault accusations in his prior office.'
Mayor Eric Garcetti, because Garcetti"has ignored credible sexual assault accusations in his prior office" and called the nomination"absurd."
Rubio’s action is the latest speed bump to Garcetti’s nomination, which languished for months in the last Congress and eventually expired. Garcetti was renominated for the position again this year, despite a bombshell investigation report by Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, in which he concluded that Garcetti"likely knew or should have known" that his top adviser, Rick Jacobs, was allegedly sexually harassing city employees and made racist comments.
The top Republican on the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee released a report last year that concluded that former Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti"likely knew or should have known" that a former top adviser was allegedly sexually harassing city employees. "Investigators believe this allegation is credible because it fits the pattern of behavior described by several other senior staff members in Mayor Garcetti’s office, and because of its similarity to allegations" in the lawsuit, Grassley’s report found.
