McCaskill Questions Why GM CEO Didn’t Fire Top Lawyer: Failure of legal department is ‘stunning’ »
U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill today told General Motors’ CEO that the “failure of [GM’s] legal department is stunning” and questioned how the company’s top lawyer has so far kept his job. The exchange was a part of McCaskill’s hearing of her Consumer Protection Subcommittee to examine the investigation into GM’s response to the defective ignition switches that have been linked to at least 13 deaths, including a fatality in Missouri, and other matters related to the ignition switch recall. McCaskill and 10 of her colleagues, including the subcommittee’s top Republican, Senator Dean Heller of Nevada, used the hearing to examine recent developments and the policy implications following GM’s recalls earlier this year for Chevy Cobalts and other vehicles with defective ignition switches. In particular, the hearing focused on the various developments and findings since McCaskill’s April hearing, including the role of GM’s legal department, the May 29, 2014, investigative report, and the June 30, 2014, announcement of the GM Ignition Compensation Claims Resolution Facility program.

Claire: Campus Sexual Assault Survey Results a ‘wakeup call’ for Schools »
U.S. Senator and former sex crimes prosecutor Claire McCaskill today released the results of a first-of-its-kind national survey on campus sexual assaults—results McCaskill said must serve as a “wakeup call” to the nation’s institutions of higher learning. The massive survey of schools demonstrates a disturbing failure by many institutions to comply with the law and with best practices in how they handle sexual violence against students—failures which affect nearly every stage of the institutions’ responses to sexual violence.
