A disgruntled employee at the State Department changed the biographies of President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence to say their term was coming to an end on Monday, Buzzfeed reported.
On the official U.S. State Department website, it read inexplicably that Donald Trump’s Presidency “ended” at 2021-01-11 19:49:00, while the vice president’s biography was edited to “Michael R. Pence’s term ended on 2021-01-11 19:44:22.”
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has ordered an internal investigation into the matter, beginning with interns and employees, according to Buzzfeed.

Shortly thereafter, the site listing the biographies of President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence, experienced “technical difficulties” and the page(s) would not load.
