Gen. John Hyten, the nominee to be the next vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has been cleared of allegations of abusive sexual contact that were made by a female service member in 2017 and 2018, according to a senior military official.
Gen. John Hyten, the nominee to be the next vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was cleared this week of allegations of abusive sexual contact that were made by a female service member in 2017 and 2018, according to a senior military official.
Hyten was nominated by President Donald Trump in early April to be the next vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He is currently serving as the commander of U.S. Strategic Command, where he has been assigned since November 2016. The Air Force's Office of Special Investigations was tasked with investigating the criminal allegations Hyten because he is an Air Force officer.
The investigators informed the service member's counsel of their initial conclusions, who in turn provided additional names and emails they said could substantiate the allegations. But a further investigation of that new information did not find any substantiating evidence, said the official. Though Hyten was nominated in April, the committee had yet to schedule a confirmation hearing even though Selva will be retiring on July 31. By law Selva is required to step down from the position of vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff when his four-year term ends on July 31.
