OPM chief abruptly resigns
By Brett Samuels and Zack Budryk - 03/17/20 07:16 PM EDT
The head of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) abruptly resigned Tuesday, leaving a void atop a sprawling agency that oversees the federal workforce.
"OPM has received the resignation of OPM Director Dale Cabaniss and OPM Deputy Director Michael Rigas is Acting Director, Office of Personnel Management," an OPM spokesperson confirmed in a statement.
Cabaniss's departure was unexpected, according to sources familiar with the matter, and was believed to be related to internal conflicts.

She chafed at treatment by John McEntee, the 29-year-old head of the office, as well as Paul Dans, OPM's White House liaison, Politico reported. McEntee rejoined the White House last month and has set about stocking the administration with officials loyal to President Trump and his agenda.
Politico reported that the White House's decision to hire a third college senior to a sensitive post also contributed to the tensions that preceded Cabaniss's resignation.
OPM is an independent agency tasked with overseeing millions of federal workers. The office handles human resources matters and oversees the civil service hiring processes.
"If these reports are true, then the Trump administration's mismanagement and political appointees have once again brought chaos to the federal workforce," Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.), chairman of the House Government Operations subcommittee, said in a statement.
"At the very moment we need OPM to operate smoothly and efficiently, including expanding telework for all eligible workers and contractors, we are instead faced with uncertainty that threatens to paralyze this agency," he added.
Cabaniss has led OPM since September, when she was confirmed in a 54-38 vote. She replaced Jeff Pon, who was ousted by Trump last October after just seven months on the job amid a dispute over the office's powers.

Cabaniss previously served under former President George W. Bush as chairwoman of the Federal Labor Relations Authority, which oversees collective bargaining and disputes between agencies and workers, and has worked on civil service issues for two decades on the Senate Appropriations and Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs committees.
Her exit comes at a precarious time for the federal government, which is attempting to find its footing in handling the coronavirus pandemic. OPM typically offers guidance on telework, benefits and other policies for federal government employees, many of whom have been urged to work from home when possible to limit transmission of the virus.
It also marks the latest reshuffling of key responsibilities within the government as Trump looks to purge the administration of career officials deemed insufficiently loyal.
"There are still some very bad, sick people in our government - people who do not love our Country (In fact, they hate our Country!)," Trump tweeted on March 9.

Head of Office of Personnel Management resigned this week (SES)
Dale Cabaniss, the director of the government's Office of Personnel Management, resigned abruptly on Tuesday, effective immediately.
Cabaniss stepped down because of, what two people familiar with the matter said, was poor treatment from the 29-year-old head of the Presidential Personnel Office, John McEntee, and a powerful appointee at OPM, Paul Dans, the new White House liaison and senior adviser to the director of OPM.
OPM Deputy Director Michael Rigas is now acting director of OPM, according to an OPM spokesperson.
Cabaniss had been at the agency only since September.
The departure casts a cloud of uncertainty over the federal workforce as it struggles to decide how to handle the coronavirus outbreak, with growing questions about the Trump administration's decision to keep most government offices open and how it is handling remote work.
OPM is the human resources management policy shop for the federal government's civil service, and it deals with health benefits and retirement, among other issues. Cabaniss is a former Republican staff director of the U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee's subcommittee on financial services and general government and was chairman of the Federal Labor Relations Authority in the Bush administration. Cabaniss didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
McEntee's return to the White House has roiled the administration with some officials criticizing the former Trump campaign staffer for what they see as an effort to stock the administration with his friends, including at least three college seniors. McEntee has not responded to questions on stories touching on the hires.
Within the past week, Jonathan Blyth is also no longer chief of staff at OPM and has moved back to OPM's congressional affairs shop, which he now heads, according to two people familiar with his move, one of which said it reflects McEntee's growing clout within the administration.
Adding to the tension: The White House has hired a third college senior to be an administration official in a sensitive post, according to four people familiar with the matter.
As some prominent Democrats call for the military to help out more with the response to the coronavirus crisis, John Troup Hemenway has been hired on a 30-day detail to help the deputy director of the Presidential Personnel Office, Michael Burley, with paperwork for Defense Department political appointees, according to one of the people. Hemenway is expected to graduate from the University of Virginia in December.
Hemenway, who is in his 20s and started last week, is the third college senior to be hired in short order by the White House. One administration official praised him by saying he's "really good at what he does."
James Bacon, 23 and a senior at George Washington University, was hired to be one of McEntee's righthand men as he tries to fill the Trump administration with loyalists and fire anyone who they suspect of disloyalty.
Anthony Labruna, who is expected to graduate from Iowa State University in May but was dismissed from the Trump campaign in February, was also recently named deputy White House liaison at the Department of Commerce.
Hemenway, who worked on the Trump campaign in 2016, got his start in the Trump administration when he was on the "beachhead" transition team at the Department of Defense and then worked in Department of Defense's White House liaison's office, according to an administration official. At various points during his time at the Defense Department, Hemenway was working to finish his degree, according to two administration officials. He has also worked for Michael Griffin, under secretary of Defense for research and engineering. Hemenway didn't respond to a request for comment.

Trump picks new federal personnel director
By Jordan Fabian - 03/04/19 04:41 PM EST
President Trump will nominate Dale Cabaniss, a longtime Republican official in Washington, as director of federal personnel, the White House announced on Monday.
Cabaniss will replace Jeff Pon, who was ousted by Trump last October after just seven months on the job amid a dispute over the Office of Personnel Management's (OPM) powers.
Margaret Weichert, a senior official in the White House budget office, had been running OPM in an acting capacity.
Cabaniss served as chairwoman of the Federal Labor Relations Authority, which oversees collective bargaining and disputes between agencies and workers, under President George W. Bush and has worked on civil service issues for two decades on the Senate Appropriations and Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committees.
Pon, a business executive, tendered his resignation at the behest of the Trump administration over tensions sparked by proposed civil service reforms that would have curtailed OPM's powers or handed some of its functions to other agencies.
In an interview with The Washington Post at the time, Weichert said the decision was in line with Trump's "management agenda."
OPM is an independent agency tasked with overseeing the federal workforce. It became the object of heavy scrutiny in 2015 after a data breach exposed the personal data of roughly 21.5 million federal employees and other people who underwent background checks for security clearances.
Cabaniss must be confirmed by the Senate before she can assume her new job.
