Trump’s transition team has reportedly asked three senior career diplomats to step down from their roles, according to sources. The diplomats in question, Dereck Hogan, Marcia Bernicat, and Alaina Teplitz, oversee the State Department’s workforce and internal coordination. This move suggests a potential desire by the Trump team to bring about significant changes within the department.
A U.S. official familiar with the matter expressed concerns about the implications of this request, stating, 'There's a little bit of a concern that this might be setting the stage for something worse.'
