NEW YORK (JTA) — The New York Times said Glenn Thrush, who was suspended following allegations he made unwanted advances toward female journalists, will resume reporting duties.

The Times said on Wednesday that Thrush will be suspended until late January and then return to work. However, the paper said Thrush, who was its prominent Washington, D.C., correspondent, will no longer be covering the White House.

The Times conducted an investigation that found that the Jewish reporter had “behaved in ways that we do not condone.”

“While we believe that Glenn has acted offensively, we have decided that he does not deserve to be fired,” said Times executive editor Dean Baquet, adding that Thrush was receiving counseling, including for substance abuse.

Last month, The Times said that it was looking into allegations made by four women that Thrush made sexual advances, including kissing and touching them.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.

Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.

At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.

Readers like you make it all possible. We’ve started our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we need 1,800 readers like you to step up to support the Forward by April 21. Members of the Forward board are even matching the first 1,000 gifts, up to $70,000.

This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism, because every dollar goes twice as far.
