William C. Bradford, a Trump administration appointee who heads the Energy Department's Office of Indian Energy has resigned after claiming this week inflammatory comments that appeared to have been made by him online were the result of hacking.
Department Of Education spokesperson, Shaylyn Hynes said 'William Bradford tendered his resignation this afternoon and is no longer with the Department of Energy,"
His resignation comes a week after evidence that suggested that Bradford made inflammatory comments through an account on the online commenting service Disqus. In response to the story, Bradford said he couldn't comment "on an ongoing federal investigation into multiple cyber attacks and Internet crimes committed against me over the past several years, to include email intrusions, hacking, and impostors in social media."
