Excerpt:

On Wednesday, Bernie Sanders will meet with women who have said they experienced sexual harassment and gender discrimination while working on his 2016 presidential campaign, according to sources close to Sanders with knowledge of the meeting.

In the wake of reports by Politico and the New York Times about a work environment former staffers described as male dominated and hostile to women, the Vermont senator arranged for a number of women and men to travel to Washington to meet with him and members of his senior staff. Sanders paid for their flights and hotel accommodations through his campaign account, the sources said.

The meeting will be run by Jenny Yang and Pamela Coukos, two facilitators from Working IDEAL, a consultant group for workplace inclusion and diversity.
