Joe Biden Renominates Eric Garcetti As Ambassador To India, Gigi Sohn To FCC; White House Seeks To Revive Stalled Past Picks

The report was triggered by claims made by Garcetti’s former communications director, Naomi Seligman, who was being represented by Whistleblower Aid.
Libby Lu, the CEO of Whistleblower Aid, said in a statement that Garcetti’s renomination was a “grave disservice to victims and survivors of workplace sexual harassment who have documented how, as mayor of Los Angeles, he “enabled persistent abuse by his top aide and
