McSally Backs Nominee Accused of Sexual Assault

Sen. Martha McSally (R-AZ), “who has spoken of her experience being sexually assaulted in the military, said that she does not believe the sexual assault allegation against President Trump’s nominee for vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,” The Hill reports.

“McSally said Tuesday at a hearing of the Senate Armed Services Committee that she had ‘full confidence’ in Gen. John Hyten, who has been accused by Army Col. Kathryn Spletstoser of unwanted sexual advances, including kissing, hugging and rubbing, in 2017.”
