A legislative panel investigating how Gov. Phil Murphy’s team handled allegations of sexual assault lodged by one senior administration official against another heard another marathon round of testimony Thursday – and after 21 hours across four days, it seems exhaustion is creeping in.

Gov. Phil Murphy’s chief of staff said Tuesday that he told an administration official who had been accused of rape to leave his job 10 weeks earlier than it had been known he was urged to depart – but never followed up on that late March request.
