Doug Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, is facing multiple allegations of inappropriate behavior and misconduct. Former colleagues from his time at the Los Angeles law firm Venable LLP have accused Emhoff of misogynistic behavior, including hiring a 'trophy secretary' for her looks, retaliating against women who did not flirt with him, and holding male-only cocktail hours. Additionally, Emhoff is accused of assaulting a past girlfriend, impregnating his children's nanny, and being involved in a 2019 lawsuit regarding sex discrimination. The Daily Mail reported that three women have corroborated the assault allegations. Emhoff has publicly responded to the allegations, calling them a 'distraction' but not outright denying them.
