In a shocking exclusive interview with CNN, Evelyn Yang, the wife of Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang, bravely revealed to the country that she is a survivor of sexual assault by an OB-GYN who is accused of abusing dozens of his patients -- most of whom were pregnant. Yang told CNN's Dana Bash that the abusive behavior began in 2012 when Dr. Robert Hadden, then her doctor, began asking her inappropriate questions about her sexual activity unrelated to her pregnancy or the baby. She said the behavior got to the point of assault as she continued her visits, which she later learned were medically unnecessary.
