The Democratic National Committee has asked all current staffers of the committee to resign, according to a report.
NBC News cited sources in reporting that all staffers have been asked to submit resignation letters dated April 15.
The resignation order, according to the report, came after last month’s election of Tom Perez as chairman and is part of a major reorganization of the committee.
“This is longstanding precedent at the DNC and has happened during multiple chair transitions,” said Xochitl Hinojosa, a spokesperson to Tom Perez. “The process was started before the election of the new chair. From the beginning, Tom has been adamant that we structure the DNC for future campaigns. Current and future DNC staff will be integral to that effort. Over the last few months, the DNC staff has done incredible work under immense pressure to hold Trump accountable.”
