A Coast Guard Academy official has resigned, alleging that she was directed to lie to Congress and discourage sexual assault victims from coming forward as part of a 'cruel' cover-up. The allegations have led to a Senate Homeland Security Subcommittee hearing on Tuesday, where senators criticized U.S. Coast Guard Commandant Adm. Linda Fagan for fostering a 'culture of concealment.' The whistleblower's claims have brought significant attention to the handling of sexual assault cases within the Coast Guard, with accusations that the institution has actively tried to hide victims from Congress.
