Group seeks to unseal Puzder divorce records

A watchdog group called the Campaign for Accountability is attempting to unseal the divorce records of fast-food businessman Andrew Puzder, President Trump’s pick for secretary of labor, saying that past allegations of spousal abuse may be relevant to Puzder’s nomination.

Puzder’s ex-wife has repeatedly disavowed the claim and has written an extensive letter to the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee explaining that she made up the accusations in a fit of rage and to gain leverage in their divorce proceedings.
