WATCH: Former Dem Lt Gov reveals why he resigned after sexual harassment probe rocked state
Summary
Former New Jersey Lt. Gov. Dale Caldwell resigned after Gov. Mikie Sherrill called for his departure following a months-long independent ethics investigation. The 61-page report substantiated a sexual-harassment finding, cited other ethics violations, and said Caldwell improperly sought a promotion for a woman with whom he had a romantic relationship. Caldwell denied the report’s conclusions and called the investigation poorly conducted, while Sherrill defended it as thorough. Shirley Emehelu will serve as acting secretary of state, and Sherrill must appoint a permanent lieutenant governor within 45 days.
