CFTC Acting Chair Pham Removes the HR Head Investigating Her.

The article from Bloomberg.com reports that Caroline Pham, the acting chair of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, removed the agency's head of human resources, Marti Tracy, who was investigating staff complaints against Pham for creating a hostile work environment. Pham replaced Tracy with the CFTC's chief diversity officer, Tanisha Cole Edmonds, despite a directive from the Trump administration to place diversity office staff on administrative leave. Pham also removed the agency's chief financial officer, Joel Mattingly, due to disagreements over travel expenses. The allegations against Pham are described as "baseless" by the CFTC, and an internal investigation is ongoing. [Extracted from the article]
