(CNN) The Air Force has cleared President Donald Trump's nominee to become vice chairman of the joint chiefs of staff of allegations of sexual misconduct, a senior military official directly familiar with the investigation told CNN Wednesday.
The allegations surfaced in April shortly after four-star General John Hyten was nominated to be the President's second most senior military adviser.
The official said no evidence or information had been found to substantiate nine allegations made against Hyten by a junior female officer.
Two senior military officers confirmed to CNN that the officer has made similar allegations against other personnel in the past.
