Woody Johnson Asked State Dept. Auditors to Delete Claims of Offensive Remarks from Report
Source: New York Times
The American ambassador to Britain rejected accusations that he made racially or sexually inappropriate comments toward employees at the U.S. Embassy in London.
The American ambassador to Britain, Robert Wood Johnson IV, urged State Department investigators against publicly reporting allegations that he made sexually or racially inappropriate comments to embassy staff, according to a report released on Wednesday.
The report, the product of a routine inspection of the U.S. diplomatic mission to the United Kingdom conducted over a three-month period in the fall, recommended that officials at the State Department’s headquarters in Washington review Mr. Johnson’s conduct.
In particular, it said that staff at the American Embassy in London had reported being subject to “inappropriate or insensitive comments” by Mr. Johnson on topics that may have included references to “religion, sex, or color.”
The final report from the State Department’s Office of Inspector General did not provide any specific examples of comments, although American diplomats have previously told The New York Times that Mr. Johnson had offended embassy staff multiple times with suggestive remarks since becoming ambassador in August 2017.

"Woody" Johnson. I'd believe those accusations based on his name alone.
