President Joe Biden’s top science adviser routinely bullied and demeaned staff in front of their peers, a White House investigation into his conduct found.
The White House conducted a two-month investigation into Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) director Eric Lander over complaints that Lander would habitually demean and publicly upbraid staff. The investigation concluded in January with a briefing on its conclusions by White House deputy director of management and administration for personnel Christian Peele.
