President Biden’s pick to lead Customs and Border Protection (CBP) once settled a case with a former member of his protective detail who claimed that the then-police chief engaged in sexual harassment and then retaliated against him when it was reported.
Chris Magnus, currently police chief of Tucson, Arizona, and former police chief of Richmond, California, settled the case – which stems from his time as chief in Richmond — in 2017 out of court for an undisclosed amount. He has since described the claim as “bogus” and that he was targeted because he is a gay man.
