An aide to California Sen. Kamala Harris (D) resigned Wednesday after his involvement in a settled harassment case was uncovered by a local newspaper.
The Sacramento Bee reported Wednesday that Harris's office confirmed the resignation of Larry Wallace, the senator's senior adviser, after the Bee contacted Harris's office with questions related to Wallace's conduct at California's state Department of Justice.
According to a lawsuit uncovered by the newspaper, Wallace was named in a 2016 harassment case that was settled last year after a woman who previously worked as his executive assistant said that the former state official "harassed and demeaned" her due to her gender.
The lawsuit also claims that Wallace repeatedly asked his assistant to change the paper on a printer located under his desk while she was wearing dresses or skirts, frequently in front of male guests. When she asked to move the printer to avoid such compromising situations, Wallace reportedly refused.
The lawsuit was filed while Harris was preparing to take office as California's junior U.S. senator, during the waning days of her tenure as California's attorney general. Her successor, Xavier Becerra, settled the lawsuit months later. At that time, Wallace began working for the senator.
In a statement to the Bee, Harris's office maintained that it was unaware of Wallace's role in the lawsuit and that the aide had offered his resignation.
“We were unaware of this issue and take accusations of harassment extremely seriously. This evening, Mr. Wallace offered his resignation to the senator and she accepted it,” a spokeswoman told the newspaper.
Harris, who was elected in 2016, is considered a top possibility for the 2020 Democratic nomination and is rumored to be considering a White House run.
We need some patriot to leak ALL of the House/Senate settlement information.
Nothing to see here. Time to move on. Any further questions to Harris asking what she knew is just racist and sexist. Different rules and standards for Democrats. Remember you can run a prostitution ring out of you office, drown a girl, abuse an intern or sleep with underage girls and still be a Democrat in good standing.
“a statement to the Bee, Harris’s office maintained that it was unaware of Wallace’s role in the lawsuit and that the aide had offered his resignation.”
Hah!
Even if true it wouldn’t matter for other politicians.
By their own standards she harbored, covered up, aided and abetted a sexual predator.
She needs to resign now!
.
Harris must resign immediately!
What a beautiful start to her “presidential” campaign. Camel toes ain’t going nowhere.
Long way to go, but under that bus is already starting to become occupied with bloodied liberals.
Now that's just plain old tacky..
Hartley began as Wallace's assistant in 2011. She reported the harassment to her supervisor and felt she was
retaliated against, according to the lawsuit. She was transferred to another DOJ office by the end of 2014.
I guess Kamala was too busy putting her vagina into the service of her country. (snx)
Harris must resign also. There’s no way she didn’t know.

Thanks for the find.
I will be voting for the upcoming Dem Kam-Cory ticket in 2020 with great enthusiasms
Wait. Where’s the crime? A senior staff member in the office of Senator Kamel Hump & Harass was caught “harassing” a woman in the Harass offices. /s
“...while she was wearing dresses or skirts, frequently in front of male guests. When she asked to move the printer to avoid such compromising situations...”
I completely agree with the idea of releasing ALL the settlement info, BUT I do wonder if Ms. Hartley also considered different work attire in order to “avoid such compromising situations”...
“...wearing a dress to work!”
In front of a rat politician? That’s considered baiting. Illegal in many places!
Unless it was a very short skirt, the action wouldn’t be any more revealing than if she were wearing long pants. Based on what I read on FR, I think what men really want to see is woman’s rears in yoga pants.
