.....
As is customary, Schwartz, like other presidential appointees, submitted a letter of
resignation to give the new administration a clean start. He had done so before, but
the Obama administration twice declined to accept.

The Trump transition team made the decision to accept Schwartz’s resignation,

I could be wrong, but I don't think that information was included in the original version of the WP article. (The date stamp on the current version of the WP article is AFTER I made my comments on the original story.) If that information was there in the original story, I missed it. Even now, it is buried at the bottom of the story.
