Biden's inaugural priest Father Kevin O'Brien is put on leave as president of Santa Clara University over claims of misconduct 'in an adult setting'
The Catholic priest who celebrated a special Mass for President Joe Biden's inauguration has been placed on administrative leave as president of Santa Clara University over allegations of misconduct.
Father Kevin O'Brien is under investigation over claims that he 'exhibited behaviors in adult settings, consisting primarily of conversations, which may be inconsistent with established Jesuit protocols and boundaries,' the university said on Thursday.
A statement from Santa Clara board of trustees chairman John M. Sobrato did not specify the allegations against O'Brien but said the trustees 'support those who came forward to share their accounts.'O'Brien gave the service at Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle, one of the most prominent Catholic churches in Washington, in January for Biden, who is the nation's second Catholic president, as well as Vice President Kamala Harris, their families and elected officials before the inauguration ceremony at the U.S. Capitol.
