President Biden did not ask for the resignation of his top science adviser Dr. Eric Lander on Monday after a published report shed light on his bullying of employees and otherwise fostering a toxic work environment.
“Dr. Lander made the decision himself to submit his resignation,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said when asked about speculation that Lander would still be in his job if Politico had not brought the alleged harassment to light.
“The president was not involved?” one of several reporters asked during Tuesday’s press briefing, the questions arising because Biden had vowed right after his inauguration to fire “on the spot” anyone who was disrespectful of other colleagues in his administration.
