NEW: ATF Agents Corroborate Existence of Racial Complaint Against Biden Director Nominee, Fear Reprisals and Hit to Agency Effectiveness thereload.com/atf-agents-cor…
“He made some comments that he was surprised by the number of African Americans who have made it onto a specific promotional list,” a current ATF official said. “So, his insinuation was that they had to have cheated. Which is kind of despicable.” thereload.com/atf-agents-cor…
This is the first time claims that one of Chipman's Equal Employment Opportunity Commission complaints was related to racist comments have been corroborated. There is a FOIA lawsuit seeking the release of them. thereload.com/atf-agents-cor…
Chipman has confirmed the complaints exist but hasn't detailed what they involved. He said "both complaints were resolved without any finding of discrimination, and no disciplinary action was taken against me" in response to questions from Senator Ted Cruz (R., Texas).
ATF told me it "cannot comment on nominees." DOJ and the White House did not respond to my request for comment and my request for the release of the complaints against Chipman. thereload.com/atf-agents-cor…
The agents said the complaint came while he was working in Detroit. They said he was sent to Detroit against his will and then he left Detroit because of the complaints made against him. thereload.com/atf-agents-cor…
