Top United States media outlets are staying silent on an allegation of assault against Doug Emhoff, the husband of Kamala Harris.
In an explosive story published Wednesday, the Daily Mail reported that Emhoff had drunkenly and “forcefully slapped” his ex-girlfriend in 2012 at the Cannes Film Festival in France because he thought she was flirting with another man. Three friends confirmed the story to the Daily Mail, which did not identify Emhoff’s ex-girlfriend and only revealed that she is a “successful New York attorney.”
The publication included a photo of the couple, with the woman’s face blurred out, as well as a travel itinerary and email showing details about their stay in Nice, France.
The Daily Wire reached out to both the White House and the Harris campaign without response. An unnamed spokesman for Emhoff told Semafor that the report is “untrue” and that “any suggestion that he would or has ever hit a woman is false.”
