WASHINGTON -- A former staff member for U.S. Rep. Elizabeth Esty says she was punched, screamed at and threatened with death by the congresswoman’s then chief of staff, who after being fired in 2016 went on to work for Sandy Hook Promise until this week. Esty admits to paying Tony Baker a $5,000 severance -- money she says she has since decided to personally repay to the U.S. Treasury - and giving him a favorable job recommendation. The Connecticut Democrat said she accepts blame for her response to reports of Baker’s misconduct, and that firing protocol recommended by the House counsel’s office is inadequate.
