Here a link to the story in the Washington Post that got him suspended with an hour of its release:
Trump called this White House defender 'wonderful.' He was fired from his previous job for alleged sexual harassment.
An internal investigation by the university concluded that Paris Dennard, a surrogate during the campaign and now a member of the President's Commission on White House Fellowships, told a recent college graduate who worked for him that he wanted to have sex with her. He "pretended to unzip his pants in her presence, tried to get her to sit on his lap, and made masturbatory gestures," according to a university report obtained by The Washington Post.
According to the 2014 report, Dennard did not dispute those claims but said he committed the acts jokingly. The investigation began after the woman and a second female employee told superiors Dennard's actions went too far and had made them uncomfortable.
