Biden CBP nominee Chris Magnus settled sexual harassment and retaliation case with former protection officer
Fox News
President Biden’s pick to lead Customs and Border Protection (CBP) once settled a case with a former member of his protective detail who claimed that the then-police chief engaged in sexual harassment and then retaliated against him when it was reported.
In the 2015 complaint, which sued Magnus and the City of Richmond, a former member of his protective detail claimed that Magnus "while dressed in questionable civilian attire, approached plaintiff while walking his dog, and began touching plaintiff inappropriately on his arm, and began rubbing plaintiff on his upper leg, in an obvious sexual manner."
The officer claimed that he told Magnus he was not interested and reported the conduct to his superior -- and as a result Magnus’ demeanor and attitude to him changed. He claimed that Magnus then began denying him overtime, training and refused to allow him to serve in a number of positions.
