The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) under the Trump administration is preparing to sue the New York Times over discrimination allegations, according to The Times. The potential lawsuit was prompted by a complaint from a white male employee who alleges he was not given a promotion due to his race and gender.
