Disgruntled staffer reportedly purged Trump, Pence from State Dept. website
A disgruntled U.S. State Department staffer was reportedly behind an erroneous posting on the department’s website that President Donald Trump’s and Vice President Mike Pence’s terms of office ended Monday.
Hey, @StateDept, what do you know that the rest of us don't?

Both posts regarding Trump and Pence were purged Monday afternoon from the department’s website.
Trump’s and Pence’s terms expire Jan. 20, when President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris will be sworn in.
UPDATE: Sources tell @BuzzFeedNews a "disgruntled staffer" is behind the State Department site's change of Trump and Pence's biographies. More TK.
