Scott Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 WASHINGTON -- President Joe Biden has fired embattled Architect of the Capitol Brett Blanton, who oversees the historic building that houses Congress and its expansive grounds, as pressure mounted for his removal following a scathing inspector general report of personal and management lapses. The White House said Monday that Blanton’s appointment was terminated. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said Monday he’d lost confidence in Blanton’s ability to do the job. An inspector general report released last year found “administrative, ethical and policy violations” by Blanton, a Trump-era appointee, including that he abused his government vehicle and misrepresented himself as a law enforcement official. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/biden-fires-architect-capitol-alleged-abuses-97092234 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
