President-elect Trump’s transition team has asked three senior State Department career diplomats to resign, potentially heralding broader changes in the diplomatic corps. The officials—Dereck Hogan, Marcia Bernicat, and Alaina Teplitz—have served under both Democratic and Republican administrations. Sources suggest Trump aims to appoint more political allies to key roles, aligning with his pledge to “clean out the deep state.” Critics warn the move could politicize the department, while Trump’s team argues it’s necessary for advancing his foreign policy agenda.
