Lander’s departure from the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy came hours after press secretary Jen Psaki was repeatedly asked why he was being allowed to keep his job despite Biden’s day-one vow to fire any staffers who mistreat their colleagues.

“The President accepted Dr. Eric Lander’s resignation letter this evening with gratitude for his work at OSTP on the pandemic, the Cancer Moonshot, climate change, and other key priorities,” Psaki said in a Monday night statement.

“He knows that Dr. Lander will continue to make important contributions to the scientific community in the years ahead.”

The investigation into Lander was triggered last year by a workplace complaint from his then-general counsel, Rachel Wallace, Politico reported.

The review’s findings found that Lander treated staffers disrespectfully and violated OSTP’s “Safe and Respectful Workplace Policy.”

Recordings and documents related to the probe, which were obtained by the outlet, found that Lander had bullied other female staffers in addition to Wallace.

Of the roughly 140 staffers in the office, 14 current and former employees said they had experienced a toxic environment working under Lander. Nine of those staffers claimed Lander would yell at and humiliate employees in front of their peers.

The review didn’t find evidence of gender-based discrimination and the reassignment of the staffer who filed the initial complaint last year was “appropriate,” according to the White House.

In his resignation letter, Lander expressed remorse for his conduct.

“I am devastated that I caused hurt to past and present colleagues by the way in which I have spoken to them,” Lander said.

“I believe it is not possible to continue effectively in my role, and the work of this office is far too important to be hindered,” he added.

Lander’s resignation marks the first cabinet-level departure of the Biden administration.

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong. If you have any questions as to our mission or methods please reach out to us at [email protected].
