The chief information officer at the Department of Homeland Security has resigned from his position after only three months on the job, the department confirmed on Monday.

Richard Staropoli, a former U.S. Secret Service agent, resigned last week and will officially leave the top information technology role in the department at the start of September.

Fedscoop first reported

Staropoli’s resignation last week, but the department did not confirm the development until Monday.

In his exit, deputy chief information officer Stephen Rice will serve as acting CIO until President Trump appoints a new person to fill the role, a DHS spokesman told The Hill.

Trump appointed Staropoli to the position at the end of April, meaning news of his exit comes roughly three months into his time on the job.

1. This government is going to be so fouled up that nothing is working

meanwhile in the private sector, we're only focusing on energy and deregulation

No investment in technology, R&D initiatives

The public is terrified and is reigning in their spending

jobs are plentiful but growth is slowing

we are in decline, not thriving, just muddling through

2. RePublicans are leaving America undefended

while Russiacontinues it's hacks and attacks. Freaking Republicans have no loyalty to the USA obviously.

3. Sounds like someone wanted some data to disappear and someone else didn't want to do it. n/t

4. Anyone with any brains......

will flee this mal-administration before the shit starts hitting the fan. Hell, it could be roses hitting the fan and I'd STILL want out. Who, in their right mind, would want "Trump Administration" on their resume? It wouldn't matter to me if the job was the farthest removed from Trump.........Customs Agent in Antarctica........FORGET IT! Any job in his administration would leave you with an oily film and an unbearable stench.
