U.S. District Judge Joshua M. Kindred, who was appointed by Donald Trump in 2019, was forced to resign this month after internal investigations confirmed that he created a hostile work environment and engaged in an inappropriate sexual relationship with a law clerk, according to a judicial conduct report released Monday.
The Judicial Council of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit released the report, which details how the Alaska judge badgered his law clerks with uncomfortable discussions regarding his dating and sex life, his divorce, and romantic preferences, often pestering them for details about their boyfriends and dating lives.
