There appears to be a shakeup in terms of personnel in the White House as of late as a new report reveals that one White House staff member has decided to step down. Dale Cabaniss, the director of the Office of Personnel Management, turned in his resignation to the higher-ups, effective immediately.
Politico reports that Cabaniss stepped down from his position as Director of Office of Personnel Management after less than a year. Although the reason for his sudden departure is not disclosed, sources reveal that it may have been because of poor treatment from Presidential Personnel Office Head John McEntee and Senior Adviser to the Director of OPM Paul Dans. Michael Rigas will then assume the post as Acting Director of the OPM.
Ever since McEntee’s return to the White House, there are officials who expressed concerns regarding the former Trump campaign staff member. Among those concerns involved the possibility that McEntee may be trying to put his own friends within the Trump administration, including a few college seniors in most likely key positions.
At the same time, OPM Chief of Staff Jonathan Blyth has also switched roles and is now the head of the OPM congressional affairs shop. Blyth’s transfer is reportedly another indicator of how much power McEntee holds among the White House personnel and the Trump administration as a whole. A report revealing that another college senior was hired for a key post as an administration official has also exacerbated the tension that appears to be growing amongst the staff.
John Troup Hemenway was recently hired on a 30-day detail to assist the deputy director of the Presidential Personnel Office Michael Burley as well as do some paperwork for the political appointees of the Department of Defense. Hemenway is set to graduate from the University of Virginia by December.
In other related news, CNN reports that the White House has also decided to postpone the third State Dinner because of the growing concerns of the coronavirus pandemic. At the same time, their meeting with King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia of Spain scheduled on the 21st of April has also been postponed.
