Rep. Waxman has Officially Called for Doan's Resignation

California Representative Henry Waxman, the Chairman of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, has officially called for Lurita Doan's resignation.

Chairman Waxman: "It’s unusual for me to ever call for the resignation of a federal official, but in your case I don’t see any other course of action that will protect the interests of your agency and the federal taxpayer. No one can be an effective leader who has abused the trust of her employees, and threatened to deny promotions and bonuses to employees for telling the truth. And no one can be an effective leader who has lost the public’s confidence, politicizing the agency and violating the Hatch Act. Yet that is exactly what you have done. I give you my opinion, just as others have given you their opinion." speaker.gov

The Committee is currently holding a hearing that will examine statements made by GSA Administrator Lurita Doan that impugn the reputation of federal officials who cooperated with a Committee investigation into Ms. Doan’s conduct at the General Services Administration.
