I've never seen her be disloyal to the president of the United States, and that makes her the best White House chief of staff that I think the president could ask for.
Well, John and Georgia, thank you both for having me.
It's certainly been a tumultuous week for Michigan football and for the Ann Arbor community, and I just want to encourage everyone listening to continue to pray for all involved.
As we discussed last week, the University of Michigan did fire Sharon Moore after it was discovered he had an inappropriate relationship with a staff member, and then he was subsequently arrested that evening.
Now, the University of Michigan has commissioned a full-scale investigation into the practices and
and culture of its entire athletic department.
The investigation will be handled by the same Chicago-based law firm that opened an inquiry earlier this fall into this situation.
And we know a little bit more information now that I can recap.
According to prosecutors in Washtenaw County,
The staff member in question told investigators the relationship did occur and presented corroborating evidence.
The staff member had on Monday apparently broken off a multi-year relationship with the former head coach, and this is according to prosecutors, but became concerned when Moore sent a flurry of texts and calls that went unreturned.
In light of this new information, Michigan Athletic Director Ward Manuel then terminated Sharone Moore after two seasons as the head football coach.
So again, this is coming from the prosecutors in Washtenaw County.
Soon after the firing, Sharon Moore went to the staff member's apartment.
This is just outside of Ann Arbor, barged in, grabbing kitchen scissors and a butter knife, and then threatened to take his own life.
And he stated, and I'm quoting here,
I'm going to kill myself.
I'm going to make you watch.
My blood is on your hands.
You ruined my life, unquote.
