The U.S. Agency for Global Media has removed a number of senior executives as the new CEO Michael Pack continues to dramatically reshape the government-run media group
. Two of them say their ouster amounts to "retaliation" for standing up to Pack.
Turner joined USAGM in February 2016 after a five-year stint as budget director of the Millennium Challenge Corporation. He also worked for six years at the Office of Management and Budget under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama. Turner also served as interim CEO of USAGM from October 2019 to June of this year, prior to Pack’s arrival.
Turner said in a statement to POLITICO: "The reasons for my removal are without merit and simply retaliation for calling the CEO and his team to account for gross mismanagement of the agency." John Lansing, who served as USAGM's CEO from 2015 to 2019, defended Turner and Kligerman, calling them "highly professional" and "people who have served their country at the highest level for a number of years."
