Fannie Regulator Refused to Cooperate With Harassment Probe, Report Says

 

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s regulator, Mel Watt, refused to cooperate with an independent review of allegations that he harassed a female subordinate, citing his status as a presidential appointee, excerpts from a report on the investigator’s findings show.

 

Watt, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, declined to be interviewed or provide a response to the misconduct allegations when contacted by the investigator, according to the report, portions of which were obtained by Bloomberg. Watt, 73, said his lawyer advised him not to participate because the process for handling claims is designed to deal with allegations made against rank-and-file employees, not the heads of agencies.

 

Watt, who was a Democratic member of Congress before former President Barack Obama picked him to lead the FHFA, is rare among senior government officials in being accused of harassment.
