Washington : Veteran US journalist Mark Halperin sexually harassed women while he was in a powerful position at ABC News, a media report said. "During this period, I did pursue relationships with women that I worked with, including some junior to me," Halperin said in a statement to CNN on Wednesday night.
"I now understand from these accounts that my behaviour was inappropriate and caused others pain. For that, I am deeply sorry, and I apologise. Under the circumstances, I'm going to take a step back from my day-to-day work, while I properly deal with this situation.
" Widely considered to be one of the pre-eminent political journalists, Halperin, 52, has, among other career highlights, been political director at ABC News; co-authored the bestselling book "Game Change," which was made into an HBO movie starring Julianne Moore as Sarah Palin; and anchored a television show on Bloomberg TV.
He currently serves as an analyst for NBC News, making frequent appearances on MSNBC's "Morning Joe", and is featured in Showtime's "The Circus", a show that chronicled the 2016 campaign cycle and the early days of the Trump presidency, and has a project in development with HBO.
Five women, who worked with Halperin, told CNN that he also had a dark side not made public until now. The stories of harassment shared range in nature from propositioning employees for sex to kissing and grabbing against her will.
