The State Department dismissed recent media reports suggesting that Secretary of State Marco Rubio is considering leaving the Trump administration. Officials characterized the claims as a baseless hoax.
The denial follows reports published Thursday by outlets including The Independent and Bloomberg. These reports alleged that Rubio was weighing an exit from his position following the results of the midterm elections, which saw victories for the Democratic Party.
The agency's statement serves as a direct rebuttal to the speculation regarding the Secretary of State's future within the current administration.
