A senior communications staffer in Speaker Mike Johnson’s office abruptly resigned this week after he was presented with complaints about his behavior, sources confirmed to NOTUS.

Anang Mittal, who was Johnson’s head of digital, resigned from his position when superiors in the office confronted him about the complaints on Thursday. A source familiar with the situation said the complaints centered around Mittal’s workplace performance and unprofessional outbursts. Johnson’s office would not comment on the complaints.

“We do not comment on personnel matters,” a spokesperson for the office said.
