A White House spokesperson has provided an exclusive statement addressing recent Fox News Digital reporting on a third-party investigation into allegations of misconduct against former San Jose State volleyball player Blaire Fleming.
Fox News Digital reported on Tuesday that the Mountain West Conference hired the firm Willkie Farr & Gallagher (WFG) to investigate allegations against Fleming of conspiring with an opponent to have teammate Brooke Slusser harmed during an Oct. 3 game.
The Mountain West hired this firm to handle the investigation in the same month that the same firm represented the conference to protect Fleming’s eligibility in a request for preliminary injunction to have the trans athlete disqualified from women’s competition.
The WFG attorney who led the investigation into allegations against Fleming, Tim Heaphy, later offered the school legal counsel to help it navigate a federal Title IX investigation over the same situation, as seen in public records obtained by Fox News Digital.
President Donald Trump’s administration launched the Title IX investigation into SJSU in February, and he previously referenced the situation during the 2024 volleyball season while campaigning for November’s election. Now his White House has weighed in on the recent developments reported by Fox News Digital.
