US Government Employee Changes Official Website To Read Trump’s Term As President Ends Today

By Newsroom

The United States State Department has launched an internal investigation to determine who was the employee behind an apparent prank in which the official government site was amended to read that the term of both President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence had come to an end.

The president’s biography was changed to read, “Donald J. Trump’s term ended on 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.” The time stamp on Trump’s page changed multiple times, before both pages were removed around 3:50 p.m. and replaced with a 404 reading, “We’re sorry, this site is currently experiencing technical difficulties. Please try again in a few moments.”

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo leads the investigation which will scan all employees at the State Department, including interns.

It came in the same day Democrats moved articles of impeachment against the President for his inciting last Wednesday’s domestic terrorist attack on the US Capitol.
