WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The White House said on Monday a full investigation was done of science adviser Eric Lander and it will monitor any corrective actions after reports that he bullied and demeaned staffers.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki said President Joe Biden has been “crystal clear” about expectations for a respectful work environment. Lander is a top science adviser to Biden and director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy.
“His behavior was inappropriate and corrective actions needed to be taken,” Psaki said.
