On Friday, August 31, 2018, Dateline is airing an investigation led by NBC News correspondent Katy Tur. Tur investigates sexual harassment allegations at the United States Forest Service. Tur interviews Lesa Donnelly, a former Forest Service employee who spearheaded a class action lawsuit against the agency in 1995. Since then, she’s been helping other women file their complaints. When Tur tells Donnelly the Forest Service says they have a zero-tolerance policy for sexual harassment, Donnelly says, “They’re liars.”
