State Dept. acting Inspector General Stephen Akard, who was named to the position after the department's previous longtime watchdog was fired 3 months ago, has resigned, a department spokesperson says.
Akard was also director of the Office of Foreign Missions and reported directly to the undersecretary of state for management, Brian Bulatao, in that role. Linick told Congress that Bulatao had tried to"bully" him into dropping an investigation into an $8 billion emergency arms sale to Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates.
Akard, a former career foreign service officer, previously served as foreign policy adviser to Vice President Mike Pence during his time as Indiana's governor.
