Mother Jones Washington Bureau chief David Corn is facing his second investigation for inappropriate conduct in three years, Politico reported Friday.
Website CEO Monika Bauerlein told TheWrap that they had investigated Corn three years ago over allegations of inappropriate physical contact between him and female staffers and charges of making “rape jokes.”
Several years ago, women complained about physical contact of a non-sexual nature and insensitive remarks. We investigated and determined there was no misconduct. We informed David about the complaints. He committed to addressing these concerns. We monitored the situation closely and determined that it did improve. Now we are looking at the allegations in three-year-old emails published by Politico to see if any further action is needed.
