Summary

At the end of the briefing Governor Healey said an employee was immediately terminated after a background check and that the matter is subject to a criminal investigation; she declined to provide further details on the ongoing probe.

During a brief question-and-answer at the end of the press briefing, Governor Healey said an individual had been terminated following a background check and that the termination was immediate. "He was immediately terminated, and that's all I can say right now," Healey said, adding the matter is "subject to a criminal investigation," and she could not comment further.

When asked whether the administration would change hiring processes, Healey said there would be "no changes at all" to the state's background check policies and referred further inquiries to the district attorney's office.

The governor did not provide the employees name, the office where the person worked, or details on the alleged conduct. Those details were not specified in the briefing and remain with the criminal investigators.
