State Department staffer resigns after allegations she inflated her resume
Source: Politico
Mina Chang, a high-ranking State Department staffer who vaulted into the public spotlight after NBC reported she had inflated her resume, has resigned from her position.
Chang, the deputy assistant secretary in the State Department’s Bureau of Conflict and Stability Operations, was accused of overstating her academic credentials and creating a fake Time magazine cover with her face on it. Chang has rebutted NBC’s story, arguing that her academic statements were not misleading and that she did not commission the doctored Time cover.
“Resigning is the only acceptable moral and ethical option for me at this time,” Chang wrote in her resignation letter, obtained by POLITICO. Her resignation is effective immediately.
The letter decries the current culture at the State Department, a subject that has featured prominently during the House Democrats' impeachment proceedings. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has received criticism for not adequately protecting the career diplomats enmeshed in the impeachment inquiry. President Donald Trump has branded several of them as “never Trumpers.”

She inflated her resume and peddled a fake Time cover. Trump appointed her to the State Department.
It has been a persistent problem for President Trump’s administration: an apparent failure to recognize red flags when vetting potential hires and appointees.

She'll probably end up on Faux Snooze soon to prove they have "diversity"!
