ArmorGroup Whistleblower to Sue Former Employer

James Gordon, the former director of operations for the North American branch of ArmorGroup — the State Department contractor accused of physical and sexual harassment while hired to protect the U.S. embassy in Kabul — plans to file a wrongful termination lawsuit against the company, according to a press release his lawyers sent me. Tomorrow at the National Press Club, Gordon, who exposed a pattern of ArmorGroup abuse to a Senate subcommittee on contractor oversight earlier this year, will apparently speak from Afghanistan by teleconference to “share new evidence related to the hazing and lewd conduct recently reported by the Project on Government Oversight,” the press release reads.
