In November 2007, a direct subordinate filed a complaint about Strider within the Clinton campaign, according to documents obtained by BuzzFeed News. The woman in the complaint, whom BuzzFeed News is not naming, did not respond to emails this week.
The complaint was filed to Jessica O'Connell, the national director of operations, and quickly rose to the attention of the campaign manager, Patti Solis Doyle, and eventually, to Clinton herself, according to documents and accounts from three former campaign officials.
On Nov. 15, 2007, the young woman sat for an interview with a top campaign official. Notes about that meeting describe her account of Strider's behavior as follows:
- gets "angry when she does not share or reveal personal information"
- is "touchy," including "5 kisses on the head (on one occasion closing the door to do so, one occasion in the elevator)"
- "wants her to leave all events with him"
- "makes a point of always leaving with her (she varies her times to try to avoid him, but he asks her to wait so they can commute together)"
- engages in "excessive tracking of whereabouts"
- "said he loved her as a friend"
- "told her he wants to get her drunk"
- "told her he buys porn while on the road for travel"
