The letter, signed by committee Chairman Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., and Vice Chairman Christopher A. Coons, D-Del., requested “all records” that are “related to any claims of sexual harassment, discrimination, retaliation, or any other employment practice prohibited by the CAA involving alleged conduct by any current Member, officer, or employee of the Senate.”

According the letter, “sexual harassment or employment discrimination” are not permitted in accordance with federal law and Senate rules.
