Shortened title.

Full title: Air Force General says 'nothing happened, ever' as army colonel claims he sexually assaulted her multiple times and lied under oath at dramatic Joint Chiefs vice chair confirmation hearing

The Air Force general picked by President Donald Trump to become the second-highest ranking U.S. military officer on Tuesday vehemently denied sexual assault allegations against him at his confirmation hearing, and received a strong endorsement from a senator who said she was raped while serving in the military.

His accuser, Army Colonel Kathryn Spletstoser, 51, watched on as General John Hyten said 'all of the allegations are completely false' while his wife Laura and daughter Katie watched on at Capitol Hill, Washington DC.

Hyten, nominated to become vice chairman of the military's Joint Chiefs of Staff, said in dramatic testimony to the Senate Armed Services Committee that 'nothing happened, ever' but Spletstoser stuck by her claim and accused him of assaulting her multiple times.

The hearing centered around allegations from an alleged December 2017 incident.

Spletstoser was later fired for creating a 'toxic' work environment, 'bullying' subordinates and displaying a 'volcanic temper'.

The Air Force's investigation into the allegations did not unearth any emails, text messages or other supporting evidence, according to a DoD source cited by the Times.

An official Air Force investigation did not substantiate any of the accusations against Hyten.

Look for her to run for Congress or the Senate as a dem in the future, leveraging the victim card.

After Kavanaugh, I pronounce every accusation as BS unless proven otherwise. Oh wait, the Constitution already guarantees that.

How do you allow someone to sexually assault you on several occasions?

Other than this one case, it’s perfectly acceptable and wise to have women working in the same offices as powerful men.

Not a chance this ever happened.
This is the Machine fabricating another lie to block Trump from cleaning up the the Air Force mess Obama gave us.

I went to the link and saw pictures of both of them. The Army Colonel is a man. If that was a picture of her, I would bet my bottom dollar on it. Not enough alcohol, not enough drugs.
