WASHINGTON: The recently updated website for President Joe Biden's White House carried an invitation for tech specialists savvy enough to find it.

Hidden in the HTML code on the website was an invitation to join the US Digital Service, a technology unit within the White House.

 

"If you're reading this, we need your help building back better," the message said.

Former President Barack Obama launched the service in 2014 to recruit technologists to help revamp government services - for example by modernizing Medicare's payment system or reforming hiring practices across government agencies.

Less than half of U.S. voters say that concerns and allegations of voter fraud were given appropriate attention in Congress, according to a new Just the News Daily Poll with Scott Rasmussen.

 

Just 49% of respondents said such concerns received a "fair hearing" before Congress, while 38% the concerns were "swept under the rug."

Pack, a conservative documentary filmmaker and confidante of former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, had only been CEO of the agency since June of last year, but during his short tenure he fired the heads of its news outlets, and replaced veterans of the agency with conservative loyalists.

Michael Pack, the controversial CEO of the U.S. Agency for Global Media, is resigning as of 2 p.m. Wednesday, at the request of the Biden administration.

 

"It is disheartening that my resignation has been requested," Pack wrote in his letter. "This will long be viewed as a partisan act that harmed an office designed to serve the American people and the national interest."

 

After the election, Biden tapped former Time managing editor and under secretary of state Richard Stengel to serve as his transition's team lead for the agency, figuring out what changes would need to be made once he was sworn in. Requesting Pack's resignation was apparently one of those first changes. Pack had two and a half years left in his term.

 

The U.S. Agency for Global Media, which oversees Voice of America, Radio Free Europe, Radio Liberty and other international news outlets, had previously been overseen by an independent board called the Broadcasting Board of Governors. President Obama signed a law in 2016 reorganizing the agency so that it would be led by a CEO appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate.
