A top aide to Judiciary Committee head Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) has resigned over allegations he sexually harassed a woman.
According to NBC, Garrett Ventry, 29, who served as a communications aide to the committee chaired by Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, had been helping coordinate the majority partys messaging in the wake of Christine Blasey Fords claim that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her 36 years ago at a high school party.
NBC News raised questions about Ventrys employment history and the report of sexual assault allegation against him, which led to the resignation.
In a statement, Ventry denied any past allegations of misconduct.
