Amy Dahm has tried for nine years to get the government to take her complaints seriously.

Last year, President Joe Biden offered a senior job at the State Department to a man who Dahm says sexually harassed and retaliated against her when she resisted, damaging her diplomatic career as he advanced at State.

Since 2014, Dahm has provided testimony about the alleged incident to three different offices at the State Department, and to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which approves top State Department appointments. In July 2021, the State Departments primary investigative bureau, the Office of Civil Rights, found Dahms claims to be unsubstantiated and without merit, and a source close to Dahms alleged harasser maintains that is true.

But that office at State still has not heard from at least two of Dahms witnesses, deeming them not relevant despite not having heard their testimony, HuffPost has learned. In November 2022, staff at the Senate committee said the State Departments investigation into Dahms allegation was incomplete, and that the department should hear from three witnesses whom Senate investigators interviewed.

The Office of Civil Rights which has the sole authority to determine what an investigation should involve and when one has concluded sufficiently does not currently plan to speak with those witnesses, HuffPost has learned.

Biden has renominated the State Department official for the job.

A separate complaint Dahm submitted last year to the State Departments inspector general ended up at the agencys Management Bureau, according to emails reviewed by HuffPost but the department is citing procedure to argue that it cannot say what, if anything, happened with that complaint. And Dahm shared her concerns with the White House last August, leading a White House official to pass them on to States Diplomatic Security bureau. A Diplomatic Security investigator interviewed her soon afterward, but the bureau declined to share the status of its investigation with HuffPost, and Dahm said it has given her no further information.
