Three witnesses say that Vice President Kamala Harris’s husband, Doug Emhoff, once assaulted his ex-girlfriend, according to a report from The Daily Mail. Emhoff, now 59, is said to have struck the woman so forcefully in the face that she spun around while waiting in a valet line late at night. The three witnesses were all friends of the victim, who was given the pseudonym of “Jane” in the report.
The report explains that in May 2012, Jane attended the prestigious amfAR Gala event near Cannes, France, with Emhoff after receiving tickets from wealthy friends for the star-studded event. However, a close friend of Jane’s recalled receiving a distressing phone call from her that night. Jane was hard to hear because she was sobbing in a cab, but she said she had been hit by her date. The friend, unsure how to help, could not reach her again after the call.
A second friend said Jane, who had been dating Emhoff for three months, also told her about the alleged violence at the time.
A third friend told DailyMail.com that Jane first told her in 2014 that she had dated Emhoff, and recounted the full story of his alleged abuse in 2018, when then senator Harris was in the news after grilling Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh in a Senate hearing over sexual assault allegations.
The friends, who all asked not to be named for fear of retaliation by Emhoff, shared with DailyMail.
