The CEO of the Democratic National Committee resigned on Monday, Jan. 29, joining a wave of officials who are leaving or being ousted from the organization as it struggles to raise funds and deals with a Senate investigation of its involvement with the discredited anti-Trump dossier.
Jess O’Connell took the helm at the DNC less than a year ago in May, according to NBC. At the time, the organization was in disarray after a devastating loss to President Donald Trump, accusations of favoritism toward Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders in the primaries, and the hacking of its servers, among other issues.
