The sources did not specify Gordon's last day."Sue Gordon is a great professional with a long and distinguished career. I have gotten to know Sue over the past 2 years and have developed great respect for her," Trump wrote on Twitter.....coincides with the retirement of Dan Coats.
This all comes after the president tweeted over a week ago his intention to name Rep.
