Another resignation

According to The Washington Post, Christopher Ford, the assistant secretary for international security and nonproliferation, initially sent a resignation letter to staff on Thursday, titled “A fond impending farewell.”

The letter did not mention Wednesday’s events at the Capitol and instead said that serving in his role at the State Department was the “highlight of my professional career” and an “extraordinary honor and privilege.”

The initial letter added that Ford’s last day would be “a week from tomorrow.”

On Friday, the Post reported that Ford sent a follow-up email to staff with a revised letter, adding that he was stepping down from his role “effective immediately.”

Ford said in a phone call with the Post that he “stewed” on the decision to send a new letter since Thursday morning, adding that it “became clear” that his original departure letter “wasn’t adequate and the events were such that I wanted to say more and do more, so I moved up the timing and walked out the door immediately.”
