The bipartisan political group No Labels, headed by Joe Lieberman and Larry Hogan, has reportedly hired Mark Halperin as a consultant:
NEW: Political journalist Mark Halperin, whose career crumbled in 2017 after multiple women accused him of sexual harassment, has joined bipartisan D.C. policy group No Labels, Punchbowl News reports. https://t.co/oQJsasSAbF
— Axios (@axios) April 20, 2021
No Labels released a statement acknowledging his past conduct but saying Halperin’s involvement will be limited and that “a second chance is warranted in this case”:
