Episode Details

Governor Greg Gianforte has suspended utility commissioner Brad Molnar for a year amid multiple accusations of harassment, discrimination, and retaliation — claims Molnar denies as politically driven. Once demoted by his peers, Molnar now faces suspension without pay after the Public Service Commission voted to request it. Though he admits to regrettable remarks like “Topless Tuesday,” his legal team disputes other serious allegations, including threats to stalk a coworker. The move comes as the commission reviews major energy deals, with critics warning it could undermine consumer protections. Molnar vows to fight the suspension in court, claiming it’s a politically motivated power play designed to silence a watchdog.
