Walmart Spokesman Resigns Over A Lie On His Résumé

In the middle of a probe over alleged corruption in its international division, Walmart has caught its own spokesman in a lie. David Tovar, Walmart’s vice president of communications, and the company’s spokesperson as it responds to allegations that it violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, has said he is leaving the job he has held since 2006, Bloomberg reports. That’s after the retail juggernaut found out that Tovar had represented himself as a 1996 graduate of the University of Delaware but in fact had no such degree, a source close to the matter, which is being kept private, told Bloomberg. Officials from the University of Delaware also told Bloomberg that Tovar had left the school — where he had been studying art — on May 25, 1996, with no diploma. Neither Tovar nor Walmart has spoken publicly about the allegations.
