Morgan Stanley fired former Congressman Harold Ford Jr. after conducting an investigation into harassment, making him the most prominent Wall Street figure to lose his job after an accusation of misconduct. He denies the claims.

“He has been terminated for conduct inconsistent with our values and in violation of our policies,” Michele Davis, a spokeswoman for New York-based Morgan Stanley, said Thursday in a statement. She declined to comment further on the move, first reported by the Huffington Post.
