Pete Marocco (pictured), an official from the administration of United States President Donald Trump who oversaw the closure of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), has left the State Department, an unnamed senior official told the Wall Street Journal.
"He conducted that historic task and exposed egregious abuses of taxpayer dollars. We all expect big things are in store for Pete on his next mission," the official added. Marocco's departure from the State Department was reportedly not voluntary, and he was forced to depart due to disagreements with Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Marocco did not comment on the report.
