Pete Marocco, a controversial Trump political appointee at the U.S. Agency for International Development, informed the group’s senior management on Thursday that he intends to take leave through November, writing in an email that he wanted to spend more time with his family.
Marocco did not say whether he would resign from his post as the assistant to the USAID administrator. But the move follows a rocky career for the loyalist to President Donald Trump in the federal government, who was forced out of senior jobs in the Department of Defense and the State Department.
