The New Jersey Legislature votes to investigate after Governor Murphy hired an employee despite a lawsuit for violation
If Democrat Phil Murphy and his inner circle adequately responded to a rape allegation against a former campaign staff member, it is the subject of a new investigation organized by the state legislature controlled by the Democrats.
(Reuters, Archive)Both chambers of the New Jersey state legislature voted Monday to begin a special commission to investigate why a campaign aide of Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy got a good job in his administration despite the accusation of raping a woman in a courtroom. apartment last year.
The unusual movement of the government held by the Democrats underscored the growing pressure on Democrats to take responsibility for cases of alleged sexual misconduct. The measure was approved unanimously in both chambers of the state government, with three Democrats opting not to vote in the Senate and one abstention in the state Assembly.
Republicans have repeatedly argued that even when Democrats interrogated Supreme Court associate judge Brett Kavanaugh for unconfirmed allegations of sexual assault, they turned a blind eye to high-level members of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), such as the representative Keith Ellison, who has secured to a large extent the unwavering support of his party Despite being accused of domestic violence.
There are indications that the arguments of the Republican Party are having an impact. Recent polls indicate a stalemate in Ellison's career against Doug Wardlow, his Republican opponent, according to the New York Times. The poll also found that 40 percent of the voters surveyed said accusations of domestic abuse "are a factor" in voting for the Democrat.
And, North Dakota Democratic Senator Heidi Heitkamp has been criticized everywhere after naming victims of domestic violence and sexual abuse in an attack directed at her Republican challenger, after some of the women said that they had not given permission for the campaign to name them, and others said they had never experienced abuse.
New Jersey officials seem determined to avoid a similar fiasco. Albert J. Alvarez served as chief of staff for the School Development Authority there, but resigned earlier this month after reports surfaced that he allegedly raped Katie Brennan, who currently serves as the chief of staff of the Funding Agency. of Mortgages and Housing of New Jersey. Alvarez has denied the accusations.
"If you look at this woman's story, you get sick."
Brennan, who made his claims public, said he informed Murphy's employees about his accusations against Alvarez, but the team took no apparent action.
"Look at this woman's story and that makes him sick: the lack of structure in our society, the lack of respect for the survivors," Murphy told a news conference on Monday. "Therefore, my goal is to find out what happened, to make our government policies the best they can be, to make New Jersey in general ... a society that people admire and say: 'Respect survivors unlike any other person, 'let's keep politics out of this.'

While the governor announced that he would initiate his own independent investigation, the new investigation promises a broader scope, encompassing not only the accusations against Murphy's employee and the administration's management by his administration, but also more general questions about how complaints of sexual misconduct are addressed. In the state criminal justice system.
Murphy's office has said that Álvarez approved a criminal background check, in accordance with local reports, although the review was limited to arrests or convictions.
"I respect the processes we implement," Murphy said, referring to his own independent review.
