President Donald Trump’s transition team has asked senior career diplomats to step down ahead of Monday’s inauguration.
Dereck Hogan, Marcia Bernicat, and Alaina Teplitz, who oversee the U.S. State Department’s workforce, have been asked to step down by the Trump team, Reuters reported.
The officials have been in charge of the workforce and internal State Department coordination and need to be removed in order for Trump to clean house.
Typically, career foreign service officers continue from one administration to the next while many other federal officials experience turnover when administrations change.
Trump is not interested in keeping anyone from previous administrations on board, however.
Those career diplomats and officials undermined Trump’s administration during his first term.

Winning! Loving the preliminary perks and the best is yet to come.
Don’t forget all those people in the DOJ cheering for Merrick Garland as he made his farewell walk.
Italy may be Elon’s. Meloni might want Elon there.
The striped pants brigade takes it on the shorts!
Yay!!!!
Now its time for Trump to farm out the rotten FBI agents to their hell-hole. Butte, Montana.
Get rid of them all!
There are too many bureaucrats!
They all work from home anyway.
just let them stay there and cut
their government access
accounts.
This is great news! It’s about time the military be allowed to function independently of state department approval.
WINNING!
I had the thought that some of them might have been cheering because they were glad to see Garland go...
Especially them!
Great! These people tried to hinder him last time.
I was Deputy Defense Attache in Freetown during Trump’s first administration. I was there in the Embassy when he fired all the seventh floor diplomats. The looks of pure horror on the faces of the embassy staff was epic. The only one who didn’t react that way was the ambassador, who probably thought it opend a door for him.
Good news all around.
They don’t work from home. They collect a paycheck while staying home when they should be working.
Yep......cut em all loose never to be heard from again.
movin movin movin, keep them lefties movin, though they’re disapprovin
Rawhide!
