No way she did not know.

A misconduct claim against a longtime aide of Sen. Kamala Harris (D., Calif.) was brought to the attention of Harris’ office months earlier than previously believed, the Sacramento Bee reported Friday.
A claim naming Larry Wallace arrived at the California Department of Justice in October 2016, three months before Harris left the attorney general’s office in early 2017. Harris has denied having any knowledge of the claim or alleged harassment.
The Bee previously reported that in December 2016 an employee filed suit against Wallace, accusing him of harassment and retaliation. The suit itself was made just as Harris left her post as attorney general to serve as California’s junior senator. Wallace served as her director of the California Justice Department’s law enforcement division.
Harris, who has known Wallace for 14 years, then hired him in March 2017 as a senior adviser in her Sacramento field office. Wallace settled with Harris’ replacement at attorney general for $400,000 two months later, in May 2017.
Wallace worked for Harris until earlier this month when he resigned. The Washington Free Beacon reported at the time:
Harris’ office claimed it was unaware of a lawsuit filed in December 2016 by Danielle Hartley against Larry Wallace, who was director of the California Justice Department’s law enforcement division under Harris. At that time, Harris had just been elected to the U.S. Senate and was preparing to transition to Washington.
