CNN —A female CIA trainee who claims she was sexually assaulted in a stairwell at CIA headquarters in 2022 and is now suing the agency alleging intimidation has been fired, her lawyer said on Thursday.
She was then given 90 days to find another job within the agency or be terminated.
According to Carroll, the trainee is a highly qualified project manager who speaks multiple languages, including Russian and Ukrainian.
The suit comes as the CIA continues to face scrutiny on Capitol Hill over its handling of sexual harassment and sexual assault cases.
A CIA spokesperson declined to discuss the specifics of the case at the time, citing the litigation.
