Another senior level official in the Trump administration has resigned.
Jeff Pon, director of the Office of Personnel Management, which oversees the federal government workforce, is the latest in the unusually long list of senior officials to leave Trump’s administration.
Pon’s resignation on Friday attracted little notice because it landed amid the peak of the drama in the U.S. Senate over the fate of the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.
Pon, a human resources professional who held senior positions during former President George W. Bush’s administration, was only confirmed to lead the OPM in March.
The White House declined to provide any further detail. Pon could not be reached for comment. The OPM did not respond to requests for comment.
The move appeared to have been sudden. As recently as Thursday, Pon had issued a statement about modernizing the federal workforce. On Friday, the OPM had not yet removed his biography and statements from its website.
