scandal jim mcgreevey

In 2004, Jim McGreevey announced that he was stepping down from his post as the governor of New Jersey—and that he’d been cheating on his wife Dina with a dude named Golan Cipel. Four years earlier, McGreevey had appointed Cipel New Jersey’s homeland security adviser, and local newspapers made a stink about how he wasn’t qualified, but was a “travel companion” of the gov’s. But it wasn’t until Cipel threatened to sue for sexual harassment that McGreevey decided to come clean.
