Former diplomat and President and CEO OF USIP George Moose told NPR "DC police showed up at my office and said it is time for you to go." USIP is a think tank funded by Congress.

NPR spoke to him on the steps of the Institute just across from the State Department during the day long standoff on Monday.

Some members of DOGE, as the Elon Musk efficiency team is known, tried several times to get inside to install a new president.

White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly, posted on X Monday evening, along with a screenshot of a resolution from USIP's three remaining board members appointing Kenneth Jackson USIP's acting president on March 14.

Moose was fired last week along with most of the board members. According to USIP's website, the bipartisan board of directors is composed of 12 members plus four "ex-officio" members including the US Secretaries of State and Defense.

But Moose and the USIP is challenging the administration in court. He was held up in his office for some time on Monday before being escorted out by police. Moose called it a sad day.[/quote]
