President Biden dismissed Architect of the Capitol Brett Blanton Monday amid calls from lawmakers of both parties for him to step down over allegations that he misused government property and impersonated a law enforcement officer — and following Blanton’s admission that he stayed away from the Capitol building during the 2021 riot by supporters of former President Donald Trump.
The report also found Blanton allowed unauthorized use of his work vehicle, including by his wife and teenaged daughter, who racked up nearly 30,000 miles — about triple the estimate for official use. The watchdog also found that Blanton had taken the vehicles as far from the nation’s capital as South Carolina and Florida.
Architect of the Capitol Brett Blanton was fired by President Biden after a report alleged that he abused his office.Instead of being on scene, Blanton said he used his agency vehicle as a “mobile command post,” monitoring events on police radio and directing his personnel. “The Inspector General’s report was highly concerning, which is, in part, why our first hearing was dedicated to providing oversight over the AOC. His refusal to be transparent and truthful has made clear that he can no longer lead the organization and must resign immediately,” he added.
