The investment bank Morgan Stanley said
Thursday that it had severed its ties with former Rep. Harold Ford Jr., a
managing director at the bank, citing an accusation of misconduct.
Ford, who is also a political commentator on
MSNBC, forcefully denied the accusation and threatened to sue both the
bank and the woman who accused him, identified in his statement as a
journalist.
The Huffington Post,
which first reported the allegations, said the journalist accused Ford
of forcibly grabbing her one evening after a business meeting, and then
continuing to email her after the incident, leading her to ask that the
contacts stop. NBC News has not confirmed the details of the accusation
nor spoken to the accuser, who was not identified in the Huffington
Post.
