The investigative reporter who first broke the story of a dossier containing sexual allegations about Donald Trump is being investigated for sexual harassment for the second time in three years.
David Corn, the Washington bureau chief for Mother Jones and a frequent MSNBC contributor on such programs as Hardball and The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell, joked about rape, gave unwelcome shoulder rubs and touched women’s legs, arms, and backs, according to allegations from former Mother Jones employees published by Politico Thursday.
The article also featured the contents of an email from a former female staff member who said Corn, a longtime supporter of women’s issues in his writings, made inappropriate comments about the woman and would occasionally approach her from behind and put his arms around her body.
The two top officials at Mother Jones, both women, acknowledged they had investigated complaints about Corn in 2014.
