Resignation of Top Aide to Gov. Shapiro Amid Sexual Harassment Allegations
Mike Vereb, the top aide to Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, resigned abruptly following allegations of sexual harassment. Documents and sources reveal that Vereb's accuser, who worked for him for less than two months, reported repeated sexual advances and lewd remarks made by Vereb towards her and other staffers. The accuser also claimed that when she reported the behavior to higher-ups in Shapiro's office, Vereb retaliated against her. The circumstances surrounding the resignation raise questions about when the governor's office was informed of the allegations and what steps were taken to address them. The governor's office declined to comment on the matter, citing it as a private personnel issue.
