A federal ethics watchdog announced on Friday that it has opened an investigation into allegations of serial sexual harassment and retaliation against victims at the Environmental Protection Agency.
The agency’s inspector general said in a statement that it had opened the investigation at the request of the House Oversight Committee, which explored sexual harassment and retaliation allegations at EPA’s Region 5 in a hearing last year.
“Senior EPA leadership systematically pursued retaliatory actions against employees involved in investigating sexual harassment cases,” oversight committee staff said at the time. “These investigators allege that Susan Hedman, the Region 5 Administrator, was personally involved in retaliation against them.”
