Kelly Hoggan, the Transportation Security Administration’s assistant administrator for the Office of Security Operations, resigned in the wake of congressional scrutiny.
The resignation was announced Monday night by the House Oversight Committee’s official twitter account.
“UPDATE: Kelly Hoggan has been removed from his position as head of security at TSA, following our hearing on May 12 on mismanagement at TSA,” the committee tweeted.
The House Oversight Committee conducted a hearing on TSA’s operations on May 12. At the hearing the TSA Administrator, Peter Neffenger, was questioned why Hoggan was given $90,000 in bonuses when security lines were not improving.
