Congressman Eliot Engel, who chairs the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said in a statement that the inspector general's report 'confirms what we feared.'

Two senior political appointees at the State Department have been engaging in a campaign of harassment and retaliation against career staffers whom they perceived as independent or disloyal to President Donald Trump, a report from the department's inspector general concluded on Thursday.

Although Stull served in a non-supervisory capacity during her time in the department, she is accused of circumventing the proper chains of command when assigning tasks, which would have ensured the appropriate employees received work they were capable of performing promptly. The allegations contained within the inspector general's 34-page report extend beyond instances of workplace power struggles to more troubling claims of political retaliation.

One employee told the inspector general that Stull moved to block the advancement of a foreign affairs officer, who was previously identified as a"leading candidate" for a senior position, in part because of his prior work on gay and lesbian rights.
