NEW: Trump Official Who Oversaw Closure of USAID OUT at State Department After Clashes with Rubio

Pete Marocco, a Trump appointee who was serving in a leadership role at USAID has left the State Department.

According to The Wall Street Journal, Marocco clashed with Secretary of State Marco Rubio over the scope of foreign aid cuts. Marocco wanted to be aggressive in cuts to foreign aid and Rubio fought to keep some of the initiatives.

Marocco was informed he was out at the State Department last week. He was told to hand over his badge and government-issued laptop.

It is unclear if Marocco is leaving the Trump Administration or just moving to a different department.

The Wall Street Journal reported:

A key architect of the Trump administration’s campaign to slash foreign aid has left the State Department after less than three months on the job, according to U.S. officials, ending a tenure that saw the dismantling of a government agency that funneled billions in assistance to poor countries.

Pete Marocco oversaw the closure of the U.S. Agency for International Development and briefly led the foreign-assistance mission at the State Department. Marocco worked closely with billionaire Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency and at times clashed with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, some of the officials said.

A senior administration official confirmed Marocco’s departure. “Pete was brought to State with a big mission—to conduct an exhaustive review of every dollar spent on foreign assistance,” the official said. “He conducted that historic task and exposed egregious abuses of taxpayer dollars. We all expect big things are in store for Pete on his next mission.”

“He is no longer at State,” the official said.
