David Andrews, a Democratic precinct chair and former public official, faces allegations of sexual harassment and misconduct. He recently retained an attorney to put alleged victims and witnesses on notice in letters demanding that they preserve documents, retract statements, and call on the media to remove news stories about the issue. In at least one case, an alleged victim has flatly refused, saying her statements were “accurate and completely truthful.”
