Tyler Hassen, who was central to the Department of Government Efficiency push to overhaul the Interior Department, is expected to leave the government next month, according to The New York Times.
Hassen, an early DOGE appointee at Interior during the Trump administration, was elevated to a senior role on Interior Secretary Doug Burgum’s team when he was promoted to be acting assistant secretary of policy, management and budget — putting him at the helm of cost cutting-efforts and a reorganization.
The Interior Department appeared to confirm Hassen’s looming departure in a statement on Friday.
“Tyler Hassen is a true American patriot who made the selfless decision to leave a successful career in the private sector to serve our great nation as part of the Trump administration,” said Interior spokesperson Aubrie Spady. “His dedicated work to make the Department more efficient and better stewards of taxpayers’ money will be felt for generations to come. We are so lucky to have Tyler on the team and look forward to witnessing the continued impact of his amazing and transformative work.”
