WASHINGTON (AP) - An internal investigation found no evidence that acting Food and Drug Administration head Lester Crawford had an extramarital affair with an agency employee or acted inappropriately because of such a relationship.
However, the inquiry by the Department of Health and Human Services' inspector general cited inconsistencies in the way the woman was promoted and assistance Crawford may have given her. The woman's identity was not disclosed.
Crawford's nomination to head the FDA on a permanent basis has been held up pending completion of the investigation, which was requested by Sen. Mike Enzi, R-Wyo.
