Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations to Hold Hearing on Sexual Assault and Harassment at the Coast Guard Academy

[WASHINGTON, DC] – U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (PSI) Chairman Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Ranking Member Ron Johnson (R-WI) will convene a hearing next Tuesday, December 12, 2023 at 10:00 AM in 562 Dirksen Senate Office Building on “Coast Guard Academy Whistleblowers: Stories of Sexual Assault and Harassment.”
