New State Department documents suggest officials in the agency’s technology office were confused as to why a political appointee, Bryan Pagliano, was being placed in their office by State leadership.

Pagliano had served on Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign since 2006, according to a copy of his resume included among the documents. Clinton’s staff worked with Patrick Kennedy, undersecretary for management, to have Pagliano assigned to the State Department’s IT office through political channels.
