Transportation Secretary Wants Allegations Stricken

The Charlotte Observer has reported that U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx wants allegations that he once had a no-show job at a defunct bus maker stricken from a lawsuit in bankruptcy court.

The trustee liquidating Charlotte-based bus company DesignLine filed suits against Foxx, seeking the return of the pay he received as deputy general counsel from 2009 to 2013.

The complaint said company documents showed little to no work by the former Charlotte mayor.

In a motion filed last month, however, Foxx says records contradict those claims. 

Foxx’s motion asks the court to strike “impertinent and scandalous matter” from the trustee’s complaint, referring to the allegations that he did no work. A hearing is scheduled for May 31 on the motion in federal bankruptcy court in Charlotte.
