Trump appointee and National Security Agency General Counsel Michael Ellis on Friday announced his resignation.
"It has been an honor to protect my country as a national security professional since 2007, and I remain ready to serve as General Counsel of NSA," Ellis wrote. "However, I have been on administrative leave for nearly three months without any explanation or updates, and there is no sign that NSA will attempt to resolve the issue. I therefore resign my position, effective immediately."
