NJ Lieutenant Governor Resigns Amid Misconduct Probe

Hindustan Times · politics

New Jersey Lieutenant Governor Dale Caldwell resigned Friday following a sexual harassment and ethics violation investigation. Governor Mikie Sherrill released a report detailing allegations that Caldwell attempted to promote a woman he was dating and made inappropriate comments to a staffer. The 61-page investigation also found Caldwell misused state resources by bringing personal guests to ticketed events without payment. Caldwell's lawyer denied many claims, suggesting the investigation was one-sided and that Caldwell faced extra scrutiny as a Black man.
