Pro Publica:A political appointee hired by the Trump administration for a significant State Department role was accused of multiple sexual assaults as a student several years ago at The Citadel military college.
Steven Munoz was hired by the Trump administration as assistant chief of visits, running an office of up to 10 staffers charged with the sensitive work of organizing visits of foreign heads of state to the U.S. That includes arranging meetings with the president.
At The Citadel, five male freshmen alleged that Munoz used his positions as an upperclassman, class president and head of the campus Republican Society to grope them. In one incident, a student reported waking up with Munoz on top of him, kissing him and grabbing his genitals. In another, on a trip to the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C., a student said that Munoz jumped on him in bed and he felt jerking and bouncing on my back.
An investigation by The Citadel later found that certain assaults likely occurred. A local prosecutor reviewed the case and declined to seek an indictment.

Had I been accused of anything near this magnitude, I'd never work again (at least not in any professional capacity).
And yet he gets a plum position in the WH?? Old boys network indeed..............

Hopefully he can grab plenty of genitals in the White House and get promoted.
