National Public Radio reports:

Until now, Karen Kraushaar has been known to many in Washington as “Woman A,” one of two employees who settled claims of sexual harassment against Herman Cain more than a decade ago when he headed the National Restaurant Association.

On Tuesday, after another woman went public with her harassment accusation against Cain, Kraushaar’s identity was revealed by an iPad news site, The Daily.

Kraushaar has confirmed to NPR that she is one of the first two women, but declined to say more about the incident, beyond an anonymous statement her lawyer issued last week.

Kraushaar, 55, a career federal employee and registered Republican who characterizes herself as an independent, currently works as a communications director at the U.S. Treasury Department.

Which is interesting, considering federal disclosures reveal the only significant political contribution she has ever made was a $250 one to the Democratic National Committee in 2009.

She must be one of those registered Republicans that works for the Obama Administration and likes to donate hundreds of dollars to the Democratic Party.
