State Treasurer and gubernatorial candidate Dan Rutherford was served with a federal lawsuit Feb. 13, and on the same day said that he would not be disclosing the results of an internal investigation he authorized about allegations that he sexually harassed an employee and forced them to do campaign work on state time, Chicago Sun-Times reported.
The investigation results will be sealed because they are now evidence in the lawsuit brought about by Ed Michalowski, Rutherford's former director of community affairs and marketing, said Peter Andjelkovich, Rutherford's attorney.
Rutherford, who has said political opponent Bruce Rauner is ultimately behind the suit told Windy City Times Feb. 2 that he was confidant the legal matters would not sideline his campaign. But Crain's reported Feb. 14 that the secrecy around the investigation could overshadow discussion of Rutherford's political qualifications.
"You can't hide behind a lawsuit you know is going to be filed," former Illinois GOP Party Chairman Tom Brady told Crain's.
