CA State Senate: Is this why Jane Kim supported Bernie?

Another high-level matrimonial split has hit the Hillary Clinton campaign, this one involving the parting of top adviser Ann O’Leary and her husband, California Supreme Court Justice Goodwin Liu — who sources have confirmed is now dating his onetime law student, San Francisco Supervisor Jane Kim.

O’Leary was recently named co-executive director of the Clinton-Kaine presidential transition team, with speculation that she may be headed for a job in the White House as a deputy chief of staff if Clinton is elected.

A June 2015 profile in Fortune magazine described O’Leary as “a die-hard policy wonk, especially keen on anything that affects families or education.” And until she recently moved East to work out of Clinton’s Brooklyn campaign headquarters, she had been working from her Oakland hills home. The profile had described her as “tag-teaming with her husband ... to raise their two young children.”

In a joint statement to us Tuesday, O’Leary and Liu said, “It is true that we made the difficult decision to separate. We continue to have respect for each other and provide mutual support in our lives. Our priority is, as it has always been, our shared commitment to being the best parents we can be to our children.”
