The appointment comes months after Tchen <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/democrats\/cuomo-wasnt-the-first-times-up-leaders-have-history-of-covering-up-liberal-scandals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">resigned<\/a> in disgrace from the feminist group Time\u2019s Up for helping Cuomo during his sex scandal. Tchen reportedly advised Cuomo\u2019s team on an op-ed that would discredit one of his accusers, Lindsey Boylan, and demanded Time\u2019s Up staffers &#8220;stand down&#8221; from issuing statements in support of Boylan. Tchen intervened in a similar manner to protect Joe Biden against sexual assault allegations during the 2020 presidential campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Tchen\u2019s involvement in those scandals makes her a questionable pick to lead the Obama Foundation\u2019s efforts to &#8220;empower adolescent girls around the world.&#8221; Valerie Jarrett, the foundation\u2019s CEO and a longtime Obama crony, called Tchen an &#8220;accomplished lawyer&#8221; and &#8220;advocate for gender equality.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Obama Foundation claims she\u2019ll be fighting for women, but a lot of women in Andrew Cuomo\u2019s office know that\u2019s unlikely,&#8221; said Scott Walter, president of Capital Research Center. &#8220;Tchen\u2019s career shows she fights for political friends and against political enemies, regardless of sex.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tchen is the latest controversial hire for the Obama Foundation.
